@fuckbitchesgitmoney As indicated in the error message, you should make a config file and mark it an executable.
For a sample setup: (not tested)
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/yabai
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/koekeishiya/yabai/master/examples/yabairc > ~/.config/yabai/yabairc
$ chmod +x ~/.config/yabai/yabairc

im an amateur at this terminal stuff im so sorry but i put in those arguments and the windows rearranged FINALLY i'd practically given up thank you so much. now it says
yabai: could not acquire lock-file!
the README says
yabai stores a lock file at /tmp/yabai_$USER.lock to keep multiple instances from launching by the same user
what should i do

@fuckbitchesgitmoney That (usually) means that more than one instance of yabai is running.
Try doing ps aux | grep yabai to check if yabai is already running, and kill that by running kill <PID here>.
For example, if the output is something like this:
you should execute kill 55004.
Then remove all of yabai's lockfiles with sudo rm /tmp/yabai* and execute yabai again.
Actually, if you're not familiar with using shells & terminals, I really wouldn't try using yabai.
