The answer depends a little bit on how X is installed on your system.
For most people you need a startup file, and the last thing in the
startup file should be the command to run fvwm. A typically startup
file might look like this:
#! /bin/sh
/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
/usr/X11R6/bin/xbiff
exec /usr/local/bin/fvwm2
Of course you will need to adjust the paths to point to where your
X11 and fvwm are stored.
This startup file typically needs to be called EITHER: .xsession or
.xinitrc (both would go in your home directory).
If you have something other than a basic UNIX setup you may need a more
complicated system to get your window manager to start (for example
some Windows system with X servers have very complex setup procedures).
You might check the documentation which came with your X window system.
If the above does not work for you, send me your error messages and
I will see what I can do (no promises though).
