### Gallery and Videos #### πŸŽ₯ Feb 2025 Video explanation of installation with preset - [YOUTUBE-LINK](https://youtu.be/wQ70lo7P6vA?si=_QcbrNKh_Bg0L3wC) - [YOUTUBE-Hyprland-Playlist](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDtGd5Fw5_GjXCznR0BzCJJDIQSZJRbxx&si=iaNjLulFdsZ6AV-t) ### πŸͺ§πŸͺ§πŸͺ§ ANNOUNCEMENT πŸͺ§πŸͺ§πŸͺ§ - This Repo does not contain Hyprland Dots or configs! Dotfiles can be checked here [`Hyprland-Dots`](https://github.com/JaKooLit/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`](https://github.com/JaKooLit/Hyprland-Dots/wiki/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`](https://github.com/JaKooLit/Wallpaper-Bank) > [!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 #### πŸ†• Prerequisites - This install script is intended for atleast Server type / Minimal Arch Linux installed. > [!NOTE] > πŸ”˜ 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. #### ✨ Customize 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! #### πŸ’« SDDM and GTK Themes offered - If you opted to install SDDM theme, here's the [`LINK`](https://codeberg.org/JaKooLit/sddm-sequoia) which is a fork of [`LINK`](https://codeberg.org/minMelody/sddm-sequoia) - If you opted to install GTK Themes, Icons, here's the [`LINK`](https://github.com/JaKooLit/GTK-themes-icons). This also includes Bibata Modern Ice cursor. #### πŸ‘€ 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`](https://github.com/JaKooLit/Hyprland-Dots/wiki/Notes_to_remember#--for-nvidia-gpu-users) ## ✨ 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 ```bash git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/JaKooLit/Arch-Hyprland.git ~/Arch-Hyprland cd ~/Arch-Hyprland chmod +x install.sh ./install.sh ```

### 🀟 semi-unattended installation (new for 2025) - edit preset.sh to modify what packages you want. Make sure to change only with Y or N - to use preset instead of usual `./install.sh` you can ran like this ```bash ./install.sh --preset ``` - if you have nvidia you can add --nvidia argument ```bash ./install.sh --preset --nvidia ``` - its called semi-unattended it is because you still have to answer some questions when installing KooL's Hyprland Dots #### ✨ for ZSH and OH-MY-ZSH installation > installer should auto change your default shell to zsh. However, if it does not, do this ```bash chsh -s $(which zsh) zsh source ~/.zshrc ``` - reboot or logout - by default `funky` theme is installed. You can find more themes from this [`OH-MY-ZSH-THEMES`](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Themes) - to change the theme, `SUPER SHIFT O` , choose desired theme, and close and open terminal. - or manually 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 - SUPER H for HINT or click on the waybar HINT! Button - Head over to [FAQ](https://github.com/JaKooLit/Hyprland-Dots/wiki/FAQ) and [TIPS](https://github.com/JaKooLit/Hyprland-Dots/wiki/TIPS) #### πŸ™‹ Got a questions regarding the Hyprland Dots or configurations? πŸ™‹ - Head over to wiki Link [`WIKI`](https://github.com/JaKooLit/Hyprland-Dots/wiki) #### ⌨ Keybinds - Keybinds [`CLICK`](https://github.com/JaKooLit/Hyprland-Dots/wiki/Keybinds) > [!TIP] > KooL's Dots v2.3.7 has a searchable keybind function via rofi. (SUPER SHIFT K) or right click the `HINTS` waybar button #### πŸ™‹ πŸ‘‹ Having issues or questions? - for the install part, kindly open issue on this repo - for the Pre-configured Hyprland dots / configuration, submit issue [`here`](https://github.com/JaKooLit/Hyprland-Dots/issues) #### πŸ”§ 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 #### πŸ›£οΈ Roadmap: - [ ] show a progress bar in downloading and compiling part when installing outside AUR or official repo #### ❗ 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`](https://wiki.hyprland.org/FAQ/#my-external-monitor-is-blank--doesnt-render--receives-no-signal-laptop) - 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. #### πŸ«₯ Improving performance for Older Nvidia Cards using driver 470 - [`SEE HERE`](https://github.com/JaKooLit/Hyprland-Dots/discussions/123#discussion-6035205) #### πŸ“’ Final Notes - join my discord channel [`Discord`](https://discord.com/invite/9JEgZsfhex) - Feel free to copy, re-distribute, and use this script however you want.
