REI3 is a minimalist window manager for X11 that is designed to be lightweight and customizable. It is a great choice for those who want a simple, low-resource option for managing windows. Here are the steps to install REI3 on FreeBSD Latest using the command line.
First, you must have Xorg installed on your system. You can install it using the following command:
sudo pkg install xorg
This will install the X Window System.
Next, you can install REI3 using the following command:
sudo pkg install rei3
This will install REI3 on your system.
REI3 uses a configuration file to set up key bindings and other options. By default, this file is located at ~/.rei3/config. If you haven't used REI3 before, you can create this file using the following command:
mkdir -p ~/.rei3 && cp /usr/local/share/examples/rei3/config ~/.rei3/
This creates a directory for your REI3 configuration file and copies the example file to that location. You can then edit the config file to customize your key bindings and other options.
To start REI3, you will need to create a new X session. You can do this by using the startx command:
startx /usr/local/bin/rei3
This will launch REI3 as your window manager.
With these steps, you should now have REI3 installed and running on your FreeBSD Latest system. You can customize your configuration to suit your needs and enjoy the lightweight, minimalistic feel of this window manager.
