The wiki is quite good:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/I3
For i3 gaps you need the package from the AUR.
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/i3-gaps/
To install an AUR package, follow this guide:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_package...
Once i3-gaps is intalled, generally you will want to run it from a Display Manager.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Display_manager
For what it's worth, I use LightDM.

Hope this helps!

That is very much *not* an AUR package.

Agh! I don't know what I was thinking!
In that case it's even simpler than what I said.
Apologies.
You can also consider sway[1], a nearly drop-in replacement for i3 (with gaps support), but based on Wayland. While I don't want to start a flamewar between X.org fans and everything else fans, one big feature of it is that VSync *just works*, without having to drop into arcane configuration details - a game changer for me, personally.
