Daniel Eklöf 1dd6df6a5d sway: commands: exec: restore SIGPIPE before exec:ing 
Sway ignores SIGPIPE (by installing a SIG_IGN handler), in order to
“prevent IPC from crashing Sway”.

SIG_IGN handlers are the *only* signal handlers inherited in
sub-processes. As such, we should be a good citizen and restore
the SIGPIPE handler to its default handler.

Installation

From Packages

Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours.

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

Check out this wiki page if you want to build the HEAD of sway and wlroots for testing or development.

Install dependencies:

  • meson *
  • wlroots
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols *
  • pcre
  • json-c
  • pango
  • cairo
  • gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)
  • scdoc (optional: man pages) *
  • git (optional: version info) *

*Compile-time dep

Run these commands:

meson build/
ninja -C build/
sudo ninja -C build/ install

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

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

Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.

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

Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
