These guides are user-contributed and not supported by SirCmpwn. Most distributions have a Sway package available in the official repositories. Here's some info for the ones that don't:

Debian / Ubuntu

Manual installation

Sway install script for Debian 8 oldstable (Jessie).
Installation guide for Debian 9 stable (Stretch).

Installation from package

There is an unsupported PPA ppa:samoilov-lex/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:

add-apt-repository ppa:samoilov-lex/sway
apt-get update
apt-get install sway

Another old PPA ppa:s.noack/ppa includes a sway package which is compatible with Debian (stable and testing) and Ubuntu (all versions since including the last LTS release). Please don't use it, the sway version there is outdated.
