Distribution

i3 is currently distributed in the following operating systems/distributions:

• Debian GNU/Linux
• Arch Linux, maintained by Atsutane
• Gentoo Linux (in sunrise), maintained by mimi_vx / Moredread
  See also: i3-9999.ebuild

• NetBSD (wip/i3 in pkgsrc-wip)
• OpenBSD, maintained by bapt
• Fedora, maintained by cassmodiah

  Because Ubuntu packages are always outdated, you can also install up-to-date third-party i3 packages for Ubuntu by adding the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list and using apt-get install i3 afterwards:
  

      deb http://debian.sur5r.net/i3/ karmic universe
      

Downloads

The current stable version is 3.ε (transcribed 3.e because many systems still can’t handle UTF-8 in version numbers).

IMPORTANT: If you use the nVidia binary driver (which does not support XRandR at the moment), read this document for an explanation and how to enable the work-around!
