README.md

sway Donate with fosspay

"SirCmpwn's Wayland window manager" is a work in progress i3-compatible window manager for Wayland. Read the FAQ. Join the IRC channel (#sway on irc.freenode.net).

Rationale

I use i3 on xorg. Wayland is coming, and i3way still has zero lines of source code after two years.

Status

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.

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.

Running

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