sudo apt install sway
```
### Ubuntu Packages
There is an [unsupported PPA `ppa:samoilov-lex/sway`](https://launchpad.net/~samoilov-lex/+archive/ubuntu/sway) that includes a `sway` package which is compatible with Ubuntu 19.04+. Run following commands (as root) in order to install Sway from the PPA:
