If you copied the tinywm executable to /usr/bin, it is now in PATH (if it's executable), so you can just as well create a file .xinitrc in your home directory with content such as this:

Code:
#! /bin/sh

xterm&
exec tinywm
Make it executable:
Code:
chmod +x ~/.xinitrc

after i make the file executable how do i have to run this file ?through xwmconfig? or is tinywm installation complete?can i just re-login to tinywm?

The tinywm installation is complete if you copied the binary "tinywm" to /usr/bin. If you created a .xinitrc file, you can then simply run "startx" from a console, and it will load tinywm.
