You can install Sway by enabling it in NixOS directly, or by using [[Home Manager]]. Note that if you enable Sway using NixOS (via <code>programs.sway.enable = true;</code> in <code>configuration.nix</code>), your Home Manager configurations for Sway will be ignored. | |||

=== Using Home Manager === | |||
To set up Sway using [[Home Manager]], first you must enable [[Polkit]] in your nix configuration: | |||
{{file|/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|nix|<nowiki> | |||
security.polkit.enable = true; | |||
</nowiki>}} | |||
Then you can enable Sway in your home manager configuration. Here is a minimal example: | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix> | |||
wayland.windowManager.sway = { | |||
enable = true; | |||
config = rec { | |||
modifier = "Mod4"; | |||
# Use kitty as default terminal | |||
terminal = "kitty"; | |||
startup = [ | |||
# Launch Firefox on start | |||
{command = "firefox";} | |||
]; | |||
}; | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
See [https://rycee.gitlab.io/home-manager/options.html#opt-wayland.windowManager.sway.enable Home Manager's Options for Sway] for a complete list of configuration options. | |||
