I can not make a screenshot in the slim manager

I read the instructions here https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-take- … gin-screen and did everything as it says there.
But I got the following error: import: unable to open X server `:0.0' @ error/import.c/ImportImageCommand/360.
I tried my meaning and experimented but nothing happened. On the Internet I did not find any decent documentation on this topic.
Do you have to write a program in the C language to do this? I can do it, but is there at least a solution? If I find it, I'll post it in the arch wiki

Doesn't slim have this functionality built-in?

Try hitting F11.

You probably shouldn't use slim anymore.

Warning: The SliM project has been abandoned (last release was 2013, the project homepage is down), and is not fully compatible with systemd, including logind sessions. Consider using a different Display manager or Xinitrc.
