There are two packages providing NoWM - [nowm](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nowm) (stable release) and [nowm-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nowm-git) (latest commits). Choose which one you want to install and use your preferred AUR helper, eg:\n\n```sh\nyay -S nowm-git\n```\n\nor install it manually using `makepkg` command:\n\n```sh\ngit clone https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nowm-git\ncd nowm-git\nmakepkg -si\n```\n\n\u003e **Note** If you can and want to port NoWM to other package managers, feel free to do so.\n\n## ⌨️ Usage\n\n#### 🖥️ Launch from TTY\n\n##### Automatically\n\nSimply launch it from the [tty](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tty_(Unix)):\n\n```sh\nnowm\n```\n\nthis will launch NoWM inside X display server with `startx`.\n\n##### Manually\n\n```sh\nstartx $(which nowm)\n```\n\nor\n\n```sh\nxinit $(which nowm)\n```\n\nor\n\nYou can put NoWM inside `~/.xinitrc`:\n\n```sh\nexec nowm\n```\n\n### Using display manager\n\nIf you using a display manager, create a file called `nowm.desktop` in `/usr/share/xsessions` with following content:\n\n```ini\n[Desktop Entry]\nEncoding=UTF-8\nName=nowm\nComment=nowm - managing window without a window manager\nExec=nowm\nType=XSession\n```\n\n## ⚙️ Configuration\n\nTo config NoWM, you can make a *executable file* at `~/.config/nowm/autostart`, NoWM will automatically start it at runtime.\n\n\u003e **Note** Check out some [examples](examples).\n\n## 💌 Credits\n\nSpecial thanks to:\n- [**NNB**](https://github.com/NNBnh) for polish this project's `README.md`, write the manpage and design [new logo](https://www.figma.com/file/NuxUjGNgfnCZ5fY5Q554ME/NoWM-Logo?node-id=0%3A1).\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n---\n\n\u003e \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003eMade with ❤️ by \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/K4zoku\"\u003e@K4zoku\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fk4zoku%2Fnowm","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fk4zoku%2Fnowm","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fk4zoku%2Fnowm/lists"}
