# pinephone-sway-poc
Sway UI configured for PINE64 PinePhone (Proof Of Concept)

You can find ready-made config files and installation instructions on how to set up Sway on postmarketOS and use it with a PinePhone.

**TODO: insert a photo**

## Install
Start with a [postmarketOS](https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/PINE64_PinePhone_(pine64-pinephone)) for PinePhone image with `postmarketos-ui-sway` installed. Either use the pre-built demo image or build a custom one with `pmbootstrap`.

Flash the system onto the phone (either to an SD card or directly to the eMMC with Jumpdrive).

Open a terminal on the phone (either through SSH, the serial connection or directly on the screen) and run this:
```
# components
$ sudo apk add waybar bemenu networkmanager

# build tools
$ sudo apk add git make waybar bemenu networkmanager

# installation
$ git clone https://github.com/Dejvino/pinephone-sway-poc
$ cd pinephone-sway-poc
$ make install_user
$ sudo make install_system
```

That's it. You should now have everything in place. Reboot to use the new settings.
