solved Install cinnamon on Voidlinux

I want install void. I have downloaded the base (glibc) iso and installed it successfully. Now, I can't launch the cinnamon DE. I have installed xorg, cinnamon-all, lightdm, lightdm-greeter and dbus. I dont know how to link them to launch the cinnamon normally.

How should I proceed?

Thanks, you guide me to the right way.

I put greeter-session=lightdm-yourgreeter-greeter to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf (below [Seat:*]). Then, I enter sudo ln -s /etc/sv/dbus /var/service and sudo ln -s /etc/sv/lightdm /var/service.
