| garbeam@0 | 11 Installation |
| garbeam@0 | 12 ------------ |
| arg@143 | 13 Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into |
| arg@143 | 14 the /usr/local namespace by default). |
| garbeam@0 | 15 |
| garbeam@34 | 16 Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if |
| garbeam@0 | 17 necessary as root): |
| garbeam@0 | 18 |
| garbeam@0 | 19 make clean install |
| garbeam@0 | 20 |
| arg@146 | 21 If you want to use a customized config.h, you can use the following |
| arg@146 | 22 command for installing dwm: |
| arg@146 | 23 |
| arg@146 | 24 make CONFIG=<your-config>.h clean install |
| arg@146 | 25 |
| garbeam@0 | 26 |
| garbeam@34 | 27 Running dwm |
| garbeam@37 | 28 ----------- |
| garbeam@34 | 29 Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx: |
| garbeam@0 | 30 |
| garbeam@34 | 31 exec dwm |
| garbeam@0 | 32 |
| garbeam@34 | 33 In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that |
| garbeam@0 | 34 the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.: |
| garbeam@0 | 35 |
| garbeam@34 | 36 DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm |
| garbeam@0 | 37 |
| garbeam@34 | 38 This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar. |

| arg@143 | 44 like this in your .xinitrc: |
| arg@132 | 45 |
| arg@132 | 46 while true |
| arg@132 | 47 do |
| arg@132 | 48 echo `date` `uptime | sed 's/.*://; s/,//g'` |
| arg@143 | 49 sleep 1 |
| arg@135 | 50 done | dwm |
