+compiling and testing.
 
 The question quickly becomes how to organize the two projects. Do you put the
 research workspaces before or after the project workspaces? What do you do if
 you need another workspace for one of them? Is moving between everything easy?
 Is it easier just to close everything related to one project while you work on
 another?
 
-Xest's solution to this problem is nested workspaces. At the top level, you have
-two workspaces open: one for the research paper and one for the programming. Inside
-of those, you have workspaces for each project. You can now pretend like only
-one of them exists at a time making it easier to work without distractions. You
-can also make better use of muscle memory. Your web browser can always be on the
-first workspace no matter what you're working on.

 How stable is Xest?
 ===================
 
 Although I am currently using it pretty much full time, there are still bugs and

 I try to fix as many bugs as I can, but I can't hit every possible use

 =====================
 
-You can clone Xest from https://github.com/jhgarner/Xest-Window-Manager and run
-the install.sh file to get going. You will need to install Haskell's Stack build
-tool before installing since I have now idea how universal the precompiled files
-are.
+If you're using arch, check out the package in the release section of the Github
+project. You can install it using "pacman -U <path to tar.gz file>" Once you do
+that, follow the instructions in the user guide.
+
+If you want to run Xest from source, clone 
+https://github.com/jhgarner/Xest-Window-Manager and install nix. The stack build
+tool should make the binary. For actually creating the menus in your display
+manager, more work will be needed. Look at the Arch package and try to get the
+non-binary files into the right places.
