Join us in [#kiwmi on irc.libera.chat](https://web.libera.chat/gamja/?channels=#kiwmi)!\n\n\n## Documentation\n\nDocumentation for the API can be found in [lua_docs.md](lua_docs.md).\n\nAdditionally `kiwmic` can be used to send a single lua string to kiwmi for direct evaluation.\n\nFor example:\n\n```\n$ kiwmic 'return kiwmi:focused_view():id()'\n94036737803088.0\n```\n\n## Getting Started\n\nThe dependencies required are:\n\n- [wlroots](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots)\n- lua or luajit\n- pixman\n- meson (build)\n- ninja (build)\n- git (build, optional)\n\n### Building\n\nAfter cloning/downloading the project and ensuring all dependencies are installed, building is as easy as running\n\n```\n$ meson build\n$ ninja -C build\n```\n\nIf you plan to use luajit instead, use the following commands instead.\n\n```\n$ meson -Dlua-pkg=luajit build\n$ ninja -C build\n```\n\nInstalling is accomplished with the following command:\n\n```\n# ninja -C build install\n```\n\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are welcomed, especially while the project is in a heavy WIP stage.\nIf you believe you have a valid concern, read the [CONTRIBUTING](https://github.com/buffet/kiwmi/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) document and please file an issue on the [issues page](https://github.com/buffet/kiwmi/issues/new).\n\nFor clarifications or suggestions on anything, please don't hesitate to contact me.\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["C","Compositors","Compositor"],"sub_categories":["Hybrid"],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbuffet%2Fkiwmi","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbuffet%2Fkiwmi","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbuffet%2Fkiwmi/lists"}
