To install it, just install the package i3-wm:

sudo pacman -Syu i3-wm

That’s it.

Installing any software follows the same process - and installing WMs is no different: search for the associated packages using your package manager, pick the ones you want, and install them. You don’t need to check the process for each bit of software you want to try. :wink:

Most DEs amd WMs will have a package group, i3 is no different:

$ sudo pacman -S i3
:: There are 5 members in group i3:
:: Repository community
   1) i3-gaps  2) i3-wm  3) i3blocks  4) i3lock  5) i3status

Enter a selection (default=all):
