### NOTE: Ubuntu-Hyprland install script has its own repo now - [`Ubuntu-Hyprland LINK`](https://github.com/JaKooLit/Ubuntu-Hyprland) > [!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 #### ⚠️ Pre-requisites and VERY Important! ### - Do not run this installer as sudo or as root - This Installer requires a user with a priviledge to install packages - Needs a Debian 13 Testing (Trixie) Branch as it needs a newer wayland packages! I have tried on Stable Debian 12 Bookworm in which, Hyprland wont build. - edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and remove # on lines with deb-src to enable source packaging else will not install properly especially Hyprland ```bash sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list ``` - delete # on the lines with 'deb-src' - ensure to allow to install non-free drivers especially for users with NVIDIA gpus. You can also install non-free drivers if required. Edit install-scripts/nvidia.sh and change the nvidia stuff's if required - If you have login Manager already like GDM (gnome login manager), I highly advice not to install SDDM. But if you decide to install SDDM, see here [`Issue 2 - SDDM`](https://github.com/JaKooLit/Debian-Hyprland/issues/2) > [!IMPORTANT] > If you are using Gnome already, DO NOT install the SDDM. The GDM Login Manager works well with Hyprland. For some reason, during installation, you will be asked which login manager you wanted to use. But during my test, nothing happened. > [!WARNING] > If you have GDM already as log-in manager, DO NOT install SDDM > You will encounter issues. See [`Issue 2 - SDDM`](https://github.com/JaKooLit/Debian-Hyprland/issues/2) ### Gallery and Videos

### πŸͺ§πŸͺ§πŸͺ§ ANNOUNCEMENT πŸͺ§πŸͺ§πŸͺ§ - This Repo does not contain Hyprland Dots or configs! Pre-configured Dotfiles are on [`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 [`WALLPAPER-REPO`](https://github.com/JaKooLit/Wallpaper-Bank) #### ✨ Some notes on this installer / Prerequisites - This script is meant to install in Debian Testing (Trixie) and Debian Unstable (SID). This script Will NOT work with Bookworm - If However, decided to try, recommend to install SDDM. Apart from GDM and SDDM, any other Login Manager may not work nor launch Hyprland. However, hyprland can be launched through tty by type Hyprland - πŸ•―οΈ network-manager-gnome (nm-applet) has been removed from the packages to install. This is because it is known to restart the networkmanager causing issues in the installation process. After you boot up, inorder to get the network-manager applet, install network-manager-gnome. `sudo apt install network-manager-gnome` See below if your network or wifi became unmanaged after installation - If you have nvidia, and wanted to use proprietary drivers, uninstall nouveau first (if installed). This script will be installing proprietary nvidia drivers and will not deal with removal of nouveau. - NVIDIA users / owners, after installation, check [`THIS`](https://github.com/JaKooLit/Hyprland-Dots/wiki/Notes_to_remember#--for-nvidia-gpu-users) #### ✨ Costumize the packages to be installed - inside the install-scripts directory, you can edit 01-hypr-pkgs.sh. Do not edit 00-dependencies.sh unless you know what you are doing. 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://github.com/JaKooLit/simple-sddm) - 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”” NOTICE TO NVIDIA OWNERS ### - by default it is installing the latest and newest nvidia drivers. If you have an older nvidia-gpu (GTX 800 series and older), check out nvidia-debian website [`LINK`](https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers) and edit nvidia.sh in install-scripts directory to install proper gpu driver > [!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. > [!IMPORTANT] > Another important note for nvidia owners > If you have nvidia, by default debian is installing nouveau or open-source nvidia driver. If you want to keep the default nvidia driver installed by Debian, choose N on the if you have nvidia question. Or else you will encounter same issue as SDDM above. ## ✨ to use this script > clone this repo (latest commit only) by using git. Change directory, make executable and run the script ```bash git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/JaKooLit/Debian-Hyprland.git ~/Debian-Hyprland cd ~/Debian-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 ```bash chsh -s $(which zsh) zsh source ~/.zshrc ``` - reboot or logout - by default `xiong-chiamiov-plus` 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, edit ~/.zshrc ZSH_THEME="desired theme" #### ✨ TO DO once installation done and dotfiles copied - 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) - if you installed in your laptop and Brightness and Keyboard brightness does not work you can execute this command `sudo chmod +s $(which brightnessctl)` #### ✨ Packages that are manually downloaded and build. These packages will not be updated by apt and have to be manually updated - Asus ROG asusctl [`LINK`](https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/asusctl) and superfxctl [`LINK`](https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/supergfxctl) - swww [`LINK`](https://github.com/Horus645/swww) - hyprlock [`LINK`](https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprlock) #22 Aug 2024 - still not on repo - hypridle [`LINK`](https://github.com/hyprwm/hypridle) #22 Aug 2024 - still not on repo - rofi-wayland [`LINK`](https://github.com/lbonn/rofi) - wallust [`LINK`](https://codeberg.org/explosion-mental/wallust) > [!TIP] > To update to latest packages, re-running this script will auto update all. Script is configured to pull latest packages build for you. #### 🀬 FAQ #### Most common question I got is, Hey Ja, Why the heck it is taking long time to install? Other distro like Arch its only a minute or two. Why here takes like forever?!?!?! - Well, most of the core packages are downloaded and Build and compiled from SOURCE. Unlike Other distros, they already have prepacked binary that can just download and install. ### πŸ›Ž *** DEBIAN and UBUNTU Hyprland Dots UPDATING NOTES *** > [!IMPORTANT] > This is very Important for Debian and Ubuntu Dots - Some parts of KooL's Hyprland Dots [`LINK`](https://github.com/JaKooLit/Hyprland-Dots) are not compatible on Debian and Ubuntu especially the hyprland settings. - That is the reason the DOTS for those distro's are "fixed" and they are being pulled on the releases. This releases are NOT in any of the branches of the KooL's Hyprland Dots. - for Debian and Ubuntu if you want to update from newest KooL's dots versions (main branch), after running copy.sh, you will have 100% error which will appear on top. However, Hyprland is very good in pin pointing those errors. - You can simply just remove those lines or add # on those lines. Then, it should be ok. #### ❗ some known issues on this Installer - some users reported that they have to install some packages. It is in the install-scripts/force-install.sh - At this time the packages force to install are the following `imagemagick` > [!NOTE] > This script does not setup audio. Kindly set up. If you have not, I recommend pipewire. `sudo apt install -y pipewire` #### πŸ«₯ Improving performance for Older Nvidia Cards using driver 470 - [`SEE HERE`](https://github.com/JaKooLit/Hyprland-Dots/discussions/123#discussion-6035205) #### πŸ™‹ Got a questions regarding the Hyprland Dots configurations? πŸ™‹ - Head over to Hyprland-Dots wiki Link [`KooL's DOTS WIKI`](https://github.com/JaKooLit/Hyprland-Dots/wiki) #### ⌨ Keybinds - Keybinds [`CLICK`](https://github.com/JaKooLit/Hyprland-Dots/wiki/Keybinds) #### 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 Debian-Hyprland DIrectory and then ran the below command. - i.e. `./install-scripts/gtk-themes.sh` - to reinstall GTK Themes or - `./install-scripts/sddm.sh` - to reinstall sddm > [!IMPORTANT] > DO NOT CD into install-scripts directory as script as it will fail. Scripts are designed to ran outside install-scripts directory for installation logging purposes. #### 🎞️ AGS Overview DEMO - in case you wonder, here is a short demo of AGS overview [Youtube LINK](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir9NfMcZBzA) #### πŸ›£οΈ Roadmap: - [ ] 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`](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 > [!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 apt autoremove rofi` . - Install rofi-wayland with ```bash cd ~/Debian-Hyprland ./install-scripts/rofi-wayland.sh ``` - [ ] Rofi-wayland is compatible with x11 so no need to worry. - [ ] Does not work in Debian Bookworm - [ ] sddm blackscreen when log-out - [ ] Installing SDDM if or any other Login Manager installed. See [`Issue 2 - SDDM`](https://github.com/JaKooLit/Debian-Hyprland/issues/2) - [ ] network is down or become unmanaged [`This`](https://askubuntu.com/questions/71159/network-manager-says-device-not-managed) might help - [ ] pyprland is a hit and miss. Drop down not working, zooming is hit and miss #### 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. Would appreciate if you give me some loves by crediting my work :) #### ⏩ Contributing - As stated above, these script does not contain actual config files.
