### Manual
1. Install `greetd` (in most distro's standard repositories)
2. Copy `assets/dms-niri.kdl` or `assets/dms-hypr.conf` to `/etc/greetd`
2. Create the `dms-greeter` group and add necessary users:
```bash
sudo groupadd dms-greeter
sudo usermod -aG dms-greeter greeter
sudo usermod -aG dms-greeter $USER
```
3. Set group permissions on DMS directories:
```bash
sudo chgrp -R dms-greeter ~/.config/DankMaterialShell
sudo chmod -R g+rX ~/.config/DankMaterialShell
sudo chgrp -R dms-greeter ~/.local/state/DankMaterialShell
sudo chmod -R g+rX ~/.local/state/DankMaterialShell
sudo chgrp -R dms-greeter ~/.cache/quickshell
sudo chmod -R g+rX ~/.cache/quickshell
sudo chgrp -R dms-greeter ~/.config/quickshell
sudo chmod -R g+rX ~/.config/quickshell
```
4. Copy `assets/dms-niri.kdl` or `assets/dms-hypr.conf` to `/etc/greetd`
- niri if you want to run the greeter under niri, hypr if you want to run the greeter under Hyprland
3. Copy `assets/greet-niri.sh` or `assets/greet-hyprland.sh` to `/usr/local/bin/start-dms-greetd.sh`
4. Edit `/etc/greetd/dms-niri.kdl` or `/etc/greetd/dms-hypr.conf` and replace `_DMS_PATH_` with the absolute path to dms, e.g. `/home/joecool/.config/quickshell/dms`
5. Edit or create `/etc/greetd/config.toml`
5. Copy `assets/greet-niri.sh` or `assets/greet-hyprland.sh` to `/usr/local/bin/start-dms-greetd.sh`

7. Edit or create `/etc/greetd/config.toml`:

# designating the VT.
vt = 1

# with whatever you want started, such as `sway`.

# in the `video` group.
user = "greeter"
command = "/usr/local/bin/start-dms-greetd.sh"
```
8. Create greeter config directory with proper permissions:
```bash
sudo mkdir -p /etc/greetd/.dms
sudo chown greeter:dms-greeter /etc/greetd/.dms
sudo chmod 770 /etc/greetd/.dms
```
Enable the greeter with `sudo systemctl enable greetd`

You can synchronize those configurations with a specific user if you want greeter settings to always mirror the shell.
The greeter uses the `dms-greeter` group for file access permissions, so ensure your user and the greeter user are both members of this group.

You can override the configuration path with the `DMS_GREET_CFG_DIR` environment variable, the default is `/etc/greetd/.dms`
It should be writable by the greeter user.
The `/etc/greetd/.dms` directory should be owned by `greeter:dms-greeter` with `770` permissions.
