I just installed DWM and I am having trouble starting it. I used the instructions on the wiki and nothing seems to work. I'm sure it's because I'm not following the instructions correctly, so I'll post the commands I've run and what they output.
~/.xinitrc exec dwm Permission Denied
sudo ~/.xinitrc exec dwm command not found
~/.xinitrc Permission Denied
sudo ~/.xinitrc command not found
dwm cannot open display
sudo dwm cannot open display.
what am I supposed to run in order to get it to work? (I'm running these from the terminal after I first login. I am not in an X server or a DE)

You'll have to edit your .xinitrc directly with a text editor(vim, nano, etc) and add dwm to the bottom of your startup commands. After that you can use the command startx to launch into X and dwm.
