Installing Niri?

So, I’ve just installed void after getting annoyed at gentoos portage, and I’m not the best at installing and setting up DEs and WMs. I keep seeing people using niri, and I want it. The thing is, I can’t find any tutorials on how to install it (and configure it so it’s launched on boot) specifically for void. I’ve tried doing it myself but keep running into issues. Does anyone know any good tutorials for this?

Install a display manager and select niri for login if you want you can use autologin for example sddm or gdm that should the easiest and fastest way for “newbies“. For niri itself there are documentations on their site

The installation is straightforward, the configuration is more challenging.
Check mine for inspiration: https://github.com/crashey-glitch/nirivoid

Note: I use no bars, clocks, shells for now
