Link and Previous-Screenshots andLinkLinkLinkThis 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.
Caution
Download this script on a directory where you have write permissions. ie. HOME. Or any directory within your home directory. Else script will fail
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.
inside the install-scripts directory, you can edit 00-hypr-pkgs.sh. Care though as the Hyprland Dots may not work properly!
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)
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
clone this repo (latest commit only) to reduce file size download by using git. Change directory, make executable and run the script
Important
Make sure you have base-devel installed
Without base-devel installed, script will fail
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/JaKooLit/Arch-Hyprland.git ~/Arch-Hyprlandcd ~/Arch-Hyprland chmod +x install.sh ./install.sh
installer should auto change your default shell to zsh. However, if it does not, do this
chsh -s $(which zsh)zshsource ~/.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"
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

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
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.
