## 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
```
