Clone, configure and install dwm, dmenu and st. OR any other desktop enviornment of your choice.
I use xwallpaper for setting my wallpaper. Following are the dependencies for compiling it:
sudo apk add autoconf libxpm libxpm-dev libxcb libxcb-dev xcb-util xcb-util-dev xcb-util-image xcb-util-image-dev pixman pixman-dev libjpeg-turbo libjpeg-turbo-dev libpng libpng-dev libseccomp libseccomp-dev
It might need this too:
sudo apk add automake
I use micro text editor.
