-My own autostart script can be found under my dotfiles-bsd repository:
-https://git.jozanleclerc.xyz/jozan/dotfiles-bsd/files.html
-It should be placed in ~/.config/dwm directory.
+Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
+the /usr/local namespace by default).
+
+Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
+necessary as root):
+
+    make clean install
+
+
+Running dwm
+-----------
+Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
+
+    exec dwm
+
+In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
+the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
+
+    DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
+
+(This will start dwm 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:
+
+    while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
+    do
+    	sleep 1
+    done &
+    exec dwm
+
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
+and (re)compiling the source code.
