On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:

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
Instead of running startx, run sway. You can run sway from within X as
well, which is useful for testing.
