* cairo
* gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: additional image formats for system tray)

_\* Compile-time dep_

## 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).
