## Installation for newbs
-```
-git clone https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/dwm
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/dwm.git
cd dwm
sudo make install
```
-## Please install `libxft-bgra`!
+There is also a `PKGBUILD` usable on distributions with pacman. Run `makepkg -si` instead of `sudo make install`.
+
+### You must also install `libxft-bgra`!
-This build of dwm does not block color emoji in the status/info bar, so you must install [libxft-bgra](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libxft-bgra/) from the AUR, which fixes a libxft color emoji rendering problem, otherwise dwm will crash upon trying to render one. Hopefully this fix will be in all libxft soon enough.
