title: Options & Overrides
---
You can override the package through `.override` or `.overrideAttrs`. This is
easily achievable on [NixOS](../hyprland-on-nixos) or
[Home Manager](../hyprland-on-home-manager).

## Package options
These are the default options that the Hyprland package is built with. These can
be changed by setting the appropriate option to `true`/`false`.

### Package
```nix
(pkgs.hyprland.override { # or inputs.hyprland.packages.${pkgs.system}.hyprland
2023-11-27 12:36:33 +01:00
enableXWayland = true; # whether to enable XWayland
legacyRenderer = false; # whether to use the legacy renderer (for old GPUs)
withSystemd = true; # whether to build with systemd support
2022-12-18 14:20:19 +01:00
})
```
### NixOS & HM modules
```nix
programs.hyprland = { # or wayland.windowManager.hyprland
enable = true;
2023-08-26 18:31:56 +02:00
xwayland.enable = true;
2022-12-28 16:31:43 +01:00
};
2022-12-18 14:20:19 +01:00
```
## Options descriptions
### XWayland
XWayland is enabled by default in the Nix package. You can disable it either in
the package itself, or through the module options.

### XWayland HiDPI
See [XWayland](../../configuring/xwayland).

## Using Nix repl
If you're using Nix (and not NixOS or Home Manager) and you want to override,
you can do it like this
2023-08-26 18:31:56 +02:00
```nix
2022-12-18 14:20:19 +01:00
$ nix repl
nix-repl> :lf "github:hyprwm/Hyprland"
2023-11-27 12:36:33 +01:00
nix-repl> :bl outputs.packages.x86_64-linux.hyprland.override { /* flag here */ }
2022-12-18 14:20:19 +01:00
```
Then you can run Hyprland from the built path.
