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_packages


Once i3-gaps is intalled, generally you will want to run it from a 
Display Manager.

For what it's worth, I use LightDM.

Hope this helps!
