Install nim and nimble and run `nimble build`. You must have XLib development headers on your system (and obviously an X server).
### How to run it?
#### Xephyr
* Install [Xephyr](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xephyr)
* Make sure you have a running X server
Then run these commands to launch Xephyr. You could also directly execute nimwin from your `~/.xinitrc` which will launch it directly when your X session starts.
Then run these commands to launch Xephyr.
```
Xephyr -ac -screen 1280x1024 -br -reset -terminate 2> /dev/null :1 &
env DISPLAY=:1 ./nimwin
```
#### xinit
Put `exec /path/to/nimwin` in your `~/.xinitrc`
### How to launch a window?
If you want to run xterm, for example, just set `NIMWIN_LAUNCHER` to a launcher (e.g. `dmenu`), and then type `Alt + p` to invoke it.
