-   1. Obtain your location code from [[https://weather.codes/search/][here]] and paste it into the script
-   2. Get the IDs of your displays with =xrandr --listmonitors= and paste them into the script
-   3. (Optionally) set the fading window which specifies the amount of minutes in which the screen is dimmed
-   4. Make sure the script is executable (=chmod +x nightlight=) and run it with =./nightlight=
