11Installation
12------------
13Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
14the /usr/local namespace by default).
15
16Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
17necessary as root):
18
19    make clean install
20
21If you are going to use the default bluegray color scheme it is highly
22recommended to also install the bluegray files shipped in the dextra package.

25Running dwm
26-----------
27Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
28
29    exec dwm
30
31In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
32the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
33
34    DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
35
36(This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)

38In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
39like this in your .xinitrc:
40
41    while true
42    do
43        xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
44        sleep 1
