+**NOTE:** If you install enlightenment to the default compile prefix
+(`/usr/local`) then you might want to ensure the session file is
+accessible to your login manager (assuming you use one) by doing
+something like:
+
+```sh
+sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/xsessions/enlightenment.desktop /usr/share/xsessions/enlightenment.desktop
+```
+
+You can also just set up a custom launcher script. Edit the
+`~/.xinitrc` file in your home directory and have it have this content:
+
+```sh
+#!/bin/sh
+exec /usr/local/bin/enlightenment_start >& ~/.xsession-errors
+```
+
+You may also want your `~/.xsession` file ot be the same, so make a
+link:
+
+```sh
+ln -s .xinitrc .xsession
+```
+
+This assumes `/usr/local` as well ans just modify based on your
+install prefix location.
+
+If you do not use a login manager you can just log into a text console
+and run `startx` after the above `.xinitrc` file is set up.

 **NOTE:** If you do not want security issues make sure `sysactions.conf` is in
 `/etc/enlightenment` (not `PREFIX/etc/enlightenment`) as this is the first
 place it looks at. This file is intended to be customized by packagers and
