cannot open shell in dwm

I didn't edit settings before compiling.
When I type Alt+shift+enter, there is no change.
How can I do with it?
(Sorry, I can't use English very well.)

Re: cannot open shell in dwm

Verify that:

The st package is installed (where st)
Verify that st can be executed from a tty (export DISPLAY=:0.0 && st)

If it doesn't run from tty using the command I provided, then go ahead and paste the output in code tags [ code ] [ /code] without spaces.
