Tony Crisci 02638c1f44 Refactor logic to determine if stacked/tabbed con Add a new function `swayc_is_tabbed_or_stacked()` to determine whether or not the given container has layout of stacked or tabbed. This is done commonly enough that it should have its own method to help readability and code quality. No logic changes.		2016-08-01 22:57:33 -04:00

Installation

From Packages

Sway is not supported by many distributions yet. Here's a list of packages available for you to install:

For other distros, see this wiki page. If you're interested in packaging Sway for your distribution, stop by the IRC channel or shoot an email to sir@cmpwn.com for advice.

Compiling from Source

Install dependencies:

cmake
wlc
wayland
xwayland
asciidoc
pcre
json-c
pango
cairo
gdk-pixbuf2 *
pam **
imagemagick (required for image capture with swaygrab)
ffmpeg (required for video capture with swaygrab)

*Only required for swaybar, swaybg, and swaylock

**Only required for swaylock

Run these commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR=/etc ..
make
sudo make install

On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:

sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway

Configuration

If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to ~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config. Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.

My own dotfiles are available here if you want some inspiration, and definitely check out the wiki as well.

Running

Instead of running startx, run sway. You can run sway from within X as well, which is useful for testing.
