### Gentoo
This program, as of now, can be installed very easily on gentoo. Just follow these instructions
git clone https://git.entheuer.de/emma/Wallman.git
doas eselect repository create wallman
doas cp -rf Wallman/distfiles/Gentoo/wallman /var/db/repos/
doas emerge -av wallman

### Arch Linux
Support for Arch Linux will be added soon.

### Others
I will potentially write a version for nixpkgs and will also bundle wallman as a flatpak.

## TOML Dictionaries ## TOML Dictionaries
First of all, the config file is structured via different TOML dictionaries. There are two TOML dictionaries: general and changing<sub>times</sub> that must be present in every config. Aside from that, further dictionaries are needed depending on how wallman is configured. You need to create a dictionary with the name of each wallpaper set defined in the used<sub>sets</sub> list (more on that later). You should probably just configure wallman by editing the sample config as it is by far the easiest way to do it. First of all, the config file is structured via different TOML dictionaries.
