Running

Unfortunately it seemingly must be installed (unless it is possible to change the install destination directory somehow... which it should be).

doas meson install
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/dev/shm/xdg-user
export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-2
/usr/local/bin/weston

Quit Weston with Ctrl Alt Bksp.
