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

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

Installation from package

There is an unsupported PPA that includes a sway package which is compatible with Debian (stable and testing) and Ubuntu (all versions since including the last LTS release). Run following commands (as root) in order to install Sway from the PPA:

add-apt-repository ppa:s.noack/ppa
apt-get update
apt-get install sway

Alternative PPA with latest versions of wlroots and Sway (Ubuntu 19.04+):

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