🪧🪧🪧 ANNOUNCEMENT 🪧🪧🪧

• This Repo does not contain Hyprland Dots or configs! Dotfiles can be checked here Hyprland-Dots . During installation, if you opt to copy pre-configured dots, it will be downloaded from that centralized repo.
• Hyprland-Dots use are constantly evolving / improving. you can check CHANGELOGS here Hyprland-Dots-Changelogs
• Since the Hyprland-Dots are evolving, some of the screenshots maybe old
• the wallpaper offered to be downloaded towards the end is from this REPO

Important

install a backup tool like snapper or timeshift. and Backup your system before installing hyprland using this script. This script does NOT include uninstallation of packages

Note

Main reason why I have not included an uninstallation script is simple. Some packages maybe already installed on your system by default. If I create an uninstall script with packages that I have set to install, you may end up a unrecoverable system.

Warning

Download this script on a directory where you have write permissions. ie. HOME. Or any directory within your home directory. Else script will fail

🆕 Prerequisites

• This install script is intended for atleast Server type / Minimal Arch Linux installed.

Note

🔘 Pipewire and Pipewire audio

• This script will install pipewire and will also disable or will uninstall pulseaudio. If you dont want it, edit install.sh, about line 191 and comment the line execute_script "pipewire.sh" or you can simply just delete pipewire.sh in install-scripts directory before installing.

✨ Costumize the packages to be installed

• inside the install-scripts directory, you can edit 00-hypr-pkgs.sh. Care though as the Hyprland Dots may not work properly!

💫 SDDM and GTK Themes offered

• If you opted to install SDDM theme, here's the LINK
• If you opted to install GTK Themes, Icons, here's the LINK & Bibata Cursor Modern Ice (assets directory)

👀 NVidia GPU Owners.

• By default, nvidia-dkms will be installed. and only supports GTX 900 and newer. If required to install older driver, edit the nvidia.sh in install-scripts directory

Important

If you want to use nouveau driver, choose N when asked if you have nvidia gpu. This is because the nvidia installer part, it will blacklist nouveau. Hyprland will still be installed but it will skip blacklisting nouveau.

• After installation, check THIS

✨ to use this script

clone this repo (latest commit only) to reduce file size download by using git. Change directory, make executable and run the script

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/JaKooLit/Arch-Hyprland.git ~/Arch-Hyprland
cd ~/Arch-Hyprland
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

✨ for ZSH and OH-MY-ZSH installation

installer should auto change your default shell to zsh. However, if it does not, do this

chsh -s $(which zsh)
zsh
source ~/.zshrc

• reboot or logout
• by default agnoster theme is installed. You can find more themes from this OH-MY-ZSH-THEMES
• to change the theme, edit ~/.zshrc . Look for ZSH_THEME="desired theme"

✨ TO DO once installation done and dotfiles copied

• if you opted to install gtk themes, to apply the theme and icon, press the dark/light button (beside the padlock). To apply Bibata modern ice cursor, launch nwg-look (GTK Settings) through rofi. Hyprland-Dots v2.1.18, initial boot file will attempt to apply GTK themes,cursor, and icons. You can tweak more using nwg-look (GTK-Settings) utility

🔧 Proper way to re-installing a particular script from install-scripts directory

• CD into Arch-Hyprland directory and then ran the below command.
• i.e. ./install-scripts/gtk-themes.sh - For reinstall GTK Themes or
• ./install-scripts/sddm.sh - For reinstall sddm

Important

DO NOT cd into install-scripts directory as script will most likely to fail

🛣️ Roadmap:

• [ ] Install zsh and oh-my-zsh without necessary steps above DONE
• possibly adding gruvbox themes, cursors, icons

❗ some known issues for nvidia

• reports from members of my discord, states that some users of nvidia are getting stuck on sddm login. credit to @Kenni Fix stated was

 while in sddm press ctrl+alt+F2 or F3
log into your account
`lspci -nn`, find the id of your nvidia card
`ls /dev/dri/by-path` find the matching id
`ls -l /dev/dri/by-path` to check where the symlink points to 
)

• add "env = WLR_DRM_DEVICES,/dev/dri/cardX" to the ENVvariables config ~/.config/hypr/UserConfigs/ENVariables.conf ; X being where the symlink of the gpu points to

• more info from the hyprland wiki Hyprland Wiki Link

• reports from a member of discord for Nvidia for additional env's

• remove # from the following env's on

env = GBM_BACKEND,nvidia-drm
env = WLR_RENDERER_ALLOW_SOFTWARE,1

❗ other known issues

• If you are using this script on an Arch-Based distros like Arco linux, or cachy OS or EOS or Manjaro, make sure to install pipewire, pipewire-pulse & pipewire-audio first. Arco Linux, on some of their ISO's still shipped with pulseaudio as audio backend. You will experience getting "stuck" on installation.
• To install pipewire and its services , sudo pacman -S pipewire wireplumber pipewire-audio pipewire-pulse . When prompted, remove / replace pulseaudio. After that, you can ran ./install.sh
• installing of cava-git on a newly installed Arch makes the install keep hanging. Switched back to cava. After booting and logged in, if cava dont work, replace it cava-git yay -S cava-git or paru -S cava-git

Note

Auto start of Hyprland after login (no SDDM or GDM or any login managers)

• This was disabled a few days ago. (19 May 2024). This was because some users, after they used the Distro-Hyprland scripts with other DE (gnome-wayland or plasma-wayland), if they choose to login into gnome-wayland for example, Hyprland is starting.
• to avoid this, I disabled it. You can re-enable again by editing ~/.zprofile . Remove all the # on the first lines
• ROFI issues (scaling, unexplained scaling etc). This is most likely to experience if you are installing on a system where rofi is currently installed. To fix it uninstall rofi and install rofi-wayland . sudo pacman -Rns rofi . Install rofi-wayland with sudo pacman -S rofi-wayland. Rofi-wayland is compatible with x11 so no need to worry.
