On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-12-13 21:40:14 +00:00
|
|
|
sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway
|
2015-11-29 15:18:02 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2018-08-08 15:40:33 +00:00
|
|
|
Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-08-18 20:16:13 +00:00
|
|
|
If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to `~/.config/sway/config` and
|
2015-11-30 23:38:23 +00:00
|
|
|
it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to
|
2015-12-23 11:22:48 +00:00
|
|
|
`~/.config/sway/config`. It is usually located at `/etc/sway/config`.
|
|
|
|
|
Run `man 5 sway` for information on the configuration.
|
2015-08-08 23:39:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-08-13 18:01:55 +00:00
|
|
|
Run `sway` from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by
|
2018-04-13 00:22:27 +00:00
|
|
|
sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
