+@subsection Wayland
+
+Wayland is a modern display server protocol intended as a replacement for Xorg.
+Wayland has a much simpler architecture compared to X by its careful design and
+implementation. Users who want to use a Wayland compositor should follow this
+section.
+
+@enumerate
+@item
+Enabling the Wayland repository
+
+
+The @samp{wayland} repository requires packages from @samp{xorg} and @samp{extra} repositories.
+So you should set your @samp{$CPT_PATH} so that @samp{core} and @samp{extra} repositories
+precede the @samp{wayland} repository, and the @samp{xorg} repository should come after
+@samp{wayland}. Here is an example below, where @samp{$REPOSITORY} points to the root of
+your repository.
+
+@example
+CPT_PATH=$REPOSITORY/core
+CPT_PATH=$CPT_PATH:$REPOSITORY/extra
+CPT_PATH=$CPT_PATH:$REPOSITORY/wayland
+CPT_PATH=$CPT_PATH:$REPOSITORY/xorg
+export CPT_PATH
+@end example
+
+After you have enabled your repositories, go ahead and install @samp{wayland} and
+@samp{wayland-protocols} packages.
+
+@example
+cpt-build wayland wayland-protocols
+@end example
+
+@item
+Switching from Xorg
+
+
+If you are already an Xorg user, you will need to rebuild some packages so that
+they support @samp{wayland}. If you don't have an @samp{xorg} system, feel free to skip
+this step. The packages that need a rebuild are:

+@strong{TODO} Installing a Compositor
