You can also passthru a GPU to make it work.
Please bear in mind 3D accel in VMs may be pretty slow.
## Launching Hyprland
## Launching Hyprland, part 1
We recommend you set up a wrapper. A wrapper will be your executable to launch
Hyprland with envvars.
Make an executable file somewhere in your `PATH`, for example `~/.local/bin/`,
called (for example) `wrappedhl`.
In it, put:
```bash
#!/bin/sh
cd ~
# Log WLR errors and logs to the hyprland log. Recommended
export HYPRLAND_LOG_WLR=1
# Tell XWayland to use a cursor theme
export XCURSOR_THEME=Bibata-Modern-Classic
# Set a cursor size
export XCURSOR_SIZE=24
# Example IME Support: fcitx
export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
export SDL_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export GLFW_IM_MODULE=ibus
exec Hyprland
```
You can add as many exported envvars as you need (Nvidia users might need a
lot)
The shown envvars are examples.
You should now launch Hyprland with `wrappedhl` instead of `Hyprland`. Make sure
to copy your `.desktop` file in `/usr/share/wayland-sessions/` and edit it if you use a
login manager! You might need to put the full path in it, as login managers are
usually not ran through the user account.
{{< hint type=important >}}
Hyprland, by default on most distros, will place `hyprland.desktop` inside
`/usr/share/wayland-sessions`. Login managers generally pick this file up and add
a session to their settings. It is highly recommended to make a copy of this
desktop file and name it something like `hyprland-wrapped.desktop` The new desktop
file will also be picked up by login managers, and provide you an extra session with
the environment variables applied to your session.

## Launching Hyprland, part 2
Now, with your wrapper, you can just execute it in your tty.
Now, you can just execute `Hyprland` in your tty.
**!IMPORTANT**: Do **not** launch Hyprland with `root` permissions (don't
`sudo`)
