Getting started

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.
