The NixOS module enables critical components needed to run Hyprland properly,
such as: polkit,
[xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland](https://github.com/hyprwm/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland),
graphics drivers, fonts, dconf, xwayland, and adding a proper Desktop Entry to
your Display Manager.
Make sure to check out the options of the

This will use the Hyprland version that Nixpkgs has.

Please enable [Cachix](../Cachix) before using the flake package, so you don't
have to compile Hyprland yourself.

In case you want to use the development version of Hyprland, you can add it
like this:
2023-04-09 14:02:54 +02:00
```nix
# flake.nix
{
inputs.hyprland.url = "github:hyprwm/Hyprland";
# ...
outputs = {nixpkgs, ...} @ inputs: {
nixosConfigurations.HOSTNAME = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
specialArgs = { inherit inputs; }; # this is the important part
modules = [
./configuration.nix
];
2023-04-09 14:02:54 +02:00
};
}
}
# configuration.nix
{inputs, pkgs, ...}: {
programs.hyprland = {
enable = true;
package = inputs.hyprland.packages.${pkgs.system}.hyprland;
2022-12-18 14:20:19 +01:00
};
2022-12-28 16:31:43 +01:00
}
2022-12-18 14:20:19 +01:00
```
Don't forget to change the `HOSTNAME` to your actual hostname!
