# Building


<a id="org727b3da"></a>

## Prerequisites

- cargo with nightly toolchain

Rather than with your system package manager, I recommend installing it using [rustup](https://rustup.rs/),
as this makes it easy to use the nightly toolchain, which is necessary to build eww.

## Installation

Build the Binary using -:

    $ git clone https://github.com/Elkowar/eww.git
    $ cd eww
    $ cargo build --release

then copy the built binary from `./target/release` to anywhere in `$PATH` (example - `~/.local/bin`)

# Usage

Create a Config and then just do `eww`!
