## Building ## Usage
On its first run, aerc will copy the default config files to `~/.config/aerc`
on Linux or `~/Library/Preferences/aerc` on MacOS (or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/aerc` if set)
and show the account configuration wizard.
If you redirect stdout to a file, logging output will be written to that file:
$ aerc > log
For instructions and documentation: see `man aerc` and further specific man
pages on there.
Note that the example HTML filter (off by default), additionally needs `w3m` and
`dante` to be installed.
