+## Before installing
+
+*Note*: these instructions are community-maintained and are not supported by sway.
+
+This document will guide you through installing sway on Debian 10 (Buster).
+
+Make sure you have activated the `contrib` and `non-free` apt repositories.
+
+Update apt cache:
+
+```
+sudo apt update
+```
+
+Create a directory to organize sources:
+
+```
+mkdir ~/sway-src
+```
+
+## Install wlroots
+
+First we'll install [wlroots](https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots) 0.6 with almost all extra dependencies:
+````
+sudo apt install build-essential cmake meson libwayland-dev wayland-protocols \
+ libegl1-mesa-dev libgles2-mesa-dev libdrm-dev libgbm-dev libinput-dev libxkbcommon-dev \
+ libudev-dev libpixman-1-dev libsystemd-dev libcap-dev libxcb1-dev \
+ libxcb-composite0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libxcb-xinput-dev libxcb-image0-dev \
+ libxcb-render-util0-dev libx11-xcb-dev libxcb-icccm4-dev freerdp2-dev \
+ libwinpr2-dev libpng-dev libavutil-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev universal-ctags
+
+cd ~/sway-src
+git clone https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots.git
+cd wlroots
+git checkout 0.6.0
+meson build
+sudo ninja -C build install
+````
+
+## Install json-c
+
+Debian's json-c version is too old, we need to manually build a newer version:
+
+```
+sudo apt install autoconf libtool
+
+cd ~/sway-src
+git clone https://github.com/json-c/json-c.git
+cd json-c
+git checkout json-c-0.13.1-20180305
+CPUCOUNT=$(grep processor /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l)
+make -j$CPUCOUNT
+sudo make install
+sudo ldconfig
+```
+
+## Install scdoc (optional)
+
+scdoc is needed for manual pages generation, which I recommend, but Debian's scdoc version is also too old, we need to manually build a newer version:
+
+```
+cd ~/sway-src
+git clone https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/scdoc
+cd scdoc
+git checkout 1.9.4
+make PREFIX=/usr/local -j$CPUCOUNT
+sudo make PREFIX=/usr/local install
+```
+
+## Install sway
+
+Next we'll install sway 1.1.1:
+````
+sudo apt install libpcre3-dev libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev
+
+cd ~/sway-src
+git clone https://github.com/swaywm/sway.git
+cd sway
+git checkout 1.1.1
+meson build
+sudo ninja -C build install
+````
+
+## Install swaybg
+
+We need to install swaybg, or else the default configuration won't work:
+```
+cd ~/sway-src
+git clone https://github.com/swaywm/swaybg.git
+cd swaybg
+git checkout 1.0 
+meson build
+sudo ninja -C build install
+```
