Usage Requirments

Using redblock is intended to be simple, baring creating custom modules; if this is not the case I would consider that a bug and would engorage you to raise the issue as such.

The one caviate to the aformentioned principle is a basic understanding of rust is required to setup and configure your statusbar. You can paruse the reference for any concepts you don't understand (baring anyghing specific to redblocks). For a more compleate introduction to the language I would encorage you to check out The Book or get started with the learning guilde. a great place to start learing is here; if you need help installing Rust please see the installation guide.
