Welcome to the dunst wiki!
First install dunst, see Installation. After installation, you can start right away.
Copy the example dunstrc from /usr/share/dunst/dunstrc to ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc .
Try using this command to see if everything works:
dunstify "It works"
There should see a notifications that looks something like this:
If it looks differently, please check if you don't have another daemon installed. If you do, then run dunst before sending a notification.
If it worked, great! You can now start customizing your dunstrc.
In the example config there are lots of comments that will help you understand the different options. Look at the man page for a more extensive explanation.
Check out the guides for in depth explanations with examples.
