Download the executable from the Releases page or compile it yourself using Cargo. +2. Pick a config file compatible with your controller(s) from the "config examples" folder and put it in `~/.config/makima`, rename it to `config.toml`. +3. Customize the keybindings to your liking. Info about the specific configs is commented inside the config files. +4. Make sure the executable has permission to be executed as a program. If not, `cd` to the directory of the executable and use `chmod +x makima`. +5. Make sure your user has access to event devices. If it doesn't, use `sudo usermod -aG input yourusername`. +6. Launch Makima and it'll automatically recognize all connected controllers. + - You can either: + - Launch it from your file manager by double clicking. + - Launch it from terminal by `cd`ing to the directory of the executable, then using `./makima`. + - Add it to a directory that's in PATH, then launch it using `rofi`, `dmenu` or whatever launcher you use. I personally added `~/.local/share/bin` to PATH and put all my executables there. + - Create a .desktop file and launch it from there. + - Autostart it from your window manager's config file (usually `exec /path/to/makima)
