the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install awesome (if
necessary as root):

Running awesome

Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start awesome using startx
or to .xsession to start awesome using gdm/kdm/xdm...:

the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:

(This will start awesome on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
like this in your .xinitrc:

echo `date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`
sleep 1
