# Foreword
Nvidia GPUs are widely known as... yeah. If you want to try Hyprland on Nvidia
regardless (many people have reported successes), follow the
2022-08-14 00:32:54 +02:00
[Nvidia page](../../Nvidia) after installing
Hyprland.
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
### Distros
Arch, NixOS and openSUSE Tumbleweed are very supported. For any other distro
(not based on Arch/Nix) you might have varying amounts of success. However,
since Hyprland is extremely bleeding-edge, distros like Pop!\_OS, Ubuntu, etc.
might have **major** issues running Hyprland.
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
# Installation
Installing Hyprland is very easy. Either you install it from your local package
provider (if they provide pkgs for Hyprland) or you install/build it yourself.

## Packages
**WARNING:** I do not maintain any packages. If they are broken, try building
from source first.

There are [precompiled packages of Hyprland](https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/X11:Wayland/hyprland)
available in the [X11:Wayland](https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/X11:Wayland) project on OBS.
2022-08-22 14:27:36 +02:00
To install them, follow the instructions at [software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=X11:Wayland&package=hyprland](https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=X11%3AWayland&package=hyprland) or use [OPI](https://github.com/openSUSE/opi) to install it.
```sh
$ opi hyprland
```
2022-08-22 14:27:36 +02:00
Alternatively, you can also follow the instructions under ["Manual (Manual Build)"](#manual-manual-build)
to build Hyprland yourself.
2022-08-22 14:27:36 +02:00
Note: *Hyprland is not available for Leap, as most libraries (and compiler) that Hyprland needs are too old.*
{{< /tab >}}
{{< tab "Fedora" >}}<https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/discussions/284>{{< /tab >}}
{{< tab "Gentoo" >}}
The hyprland package is available in the [wayland-desktop](https://github.com/bsd-ac/wayland-desktop) overlay.
```sh
$ eselect repository enable wayland-desktop
$ emerge --ask --verbose hyprland
```

## Manual (Releases)
Download the most recent release.
copy the binary (Hyprland) to `/usr/bin/`.
copy hyprctl to `/usr/bin/`.
copy the wlroots .so (`wlroots.so.XX032`) to `/usr/lib/`.
copy the desktop entry (`examples/Hyprland.desktop`) to
`/usr/share/wayland-sessions/`
the example config is in `examples/Hyprland.conf`.
For updating later on, you can overwrite the binaries (hyprctl, hyprland and
libwlroots), you don't need to update anything else.
## Manual (Manual Build)
*Arch dependencies*:
```plain
2022-08-17 16:08:29 +02:00
yay -S gdb ninja gcc cmake libxcb xcb-proto xcb-util xcb-util-keysyms libxfixes libx11 libxcomposite xorg-xinput libxrender pixman wayland-protocols cairo pango seatd
```
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
(If any are missing hmu)
*openSUSE dependencies*:
```sh
zypper in gcc-c++ git meson cmake "pkgconfig(cairo)" "pkgconfig(egl)" "pkgconfig(gbm)" "pkgconfig(gl)" "pkgconfig(glesv2)" "pkgconfig(libdrm)" "pkgconfig(libinput)" "pkgconfig(libseat)" "pkgconfig(libudev)" "pkgconfig(pango)" "pkgconfig(pangocairo)" "pkgconfig(pixman-1)" "pkgconfig(vulkan)" "pkgconfig(wayland-client)" "pkgconfig(wayland-protocols)" "pkgconfig(wayland-scanner)" "pkgconfig(wayland-server)" "pkgconfig(xcb)" "pkgconfig(xcb-icccm)" "pkgconfig(xcb-renderutil)" "pkgconfig(xkbcommon)" "pkgconfig(xwayland)" glslang-devel Mesa-libGLESv3-devel "pkgconfig(xcb-errors)"
```
2022-08-22 14:27:36 +02:00
(this should also work on RHEL/Fedora if you remove `Mesa-libGLESv3-devel` and `pkgconfig(xcb-errors)`)
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
Please note Hyprland builds `wlroots`. Make sure you have the dependencies of
wlroots installed, you can make sure you have them by installing wlroots
separately (Hyprland doesn't mind)
Also note that Hyprland uses the C++23 standard, so your compiler has to support
that (`gcc>=12.1.0` or `clang>=15`)
### CMake (recommended)
```Plain
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
git clone --recursive https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland
cd Hyprland
sudo make install
```
### Meson
```plain
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
meson _build
ninja -C _build
ninja -C _build install --tags runtime,man
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
```
2022-08-13 01:47:48 +02:00
Refer to [Debugging](../../Contributing-and-Debugging) to see how to build &
debug.
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
## Crash on launch
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
See [Crashes and Bugs](../../Crashes-and-Bugs).
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
## Custom installation (legacy renderer, etc)
cd into the hyprland repo.
for legacy renderer:
```plain
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
sudo make clear && sudo make config && make legacyrenderer && sudo cp ./build/Hyprland /usr/bin && sudo cp ./example/hyprland.desktop /usr/share/wayland-sessions
```
_please note the legacy renderer may not support some graphical features._
<br/><br/> Any other config: (replace \[PRESET\] with your preset, `release`
`debug` `legacyrenderer` `legacyrendererdebug`)
```plain
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
sudo make clear && sudo make config && make [PRESET] && sudo cp ./build/Hyprland /usr/bin && sudo cp ./example/hyprland.desktop /usr/share/wayland-sessions
```
## Custom Build flags
To apply custom build flags, you'll have to ditch make.
Supported custom build flags:
```plain
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
NO_XWAYLAND - Removes XWayland support
```
How to?
Go to the root repo.
Clean before everything and config the root:
```plain
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
make clear && sudo make config
```
Then, configure CMake:
```plain
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
mkdir -p build && cmake --no-warn-unused-cli -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release -D<YOUR_FLAG>:STRING=true -H./ -B./build -G Ninja
```
Change `<YOUR_FLAG>` to one of the custom build flags. You **are allowed to**
use multiple at once, then add another `-D<YOUR_FLAG_2>:STRING=true`
You can of course also change the `BUILD_TYPE` to `Debug`.
Now, build:
```plain
2022-08-22 00:05:38 +02:00
cmake --build ./build --config Release --target all -j $(nproc)
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
```
If you configured in `Debug`, change the `--config` to `Debug` as well.
Now, of course, install manually.
```plain
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
sudo cp ./build/Hyprland /usr/bin && sudo cp ./example/hyprland.desktop /usr/share/wayland-sessions
```
# Launching
You can launch Hyprland by either going into a TTY and executing `Hyprland`, or
with a login manager.
**!IMPORTANT**: Do **not** launch Hyprland with `root` permissions (don't
`sudo`)
Login managers are not officially supported, but here's a short compatibility
list:
- SDDM → Works flawlessly
- GDM → Works with the caveat of crashing Hyprland on the first launch
- ly → Works with minor to major issues and/or caveats
