Installation & configuration
|
||
|
|
----------------------------
|
||
|
|
Here are the minimal steps to get EXWM working:
|
||
|
|
1. Install XELB and EXWM, and make sure they are in `load-path'.
|
||
|
|
2. In '~/.emacs', add following lines (please modify accordingly):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(require 'exwm)
|
||
|
|
(require 'exwm-config)
|
||
|
|
(exwm-config-default)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Link or copy the file 'xinitrc' to '~/.xinitrc'.
|
||
|
|
4. Launch EXWM in a console (e.g. tty1) with
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
xinit -- vt01
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You should additionally hide the menu-bar, tool-bar, etc to increase the
|
||
|
|
usable space. Please check the wiki (https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm/wiki)
|
||
|
|
for more detailed instructions on installation, configuration, usage, etc.
