## Non-NixOS install
If you plan on using Hyprland through Nix, outside of NixOS, please use
[nixGL](https://github.com/guibou/nixGL).
### With flakes
First, [enable flakes](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes#Enable_flakes).
Once you have flakes working, install Hyprland through `nix profile`:
```sh
$ nix profile install github:hyprwm/Hyprland
```
Since you're using Hyprland outside of NixOS, it won't be able to find graphics
drivers. To get around that, you can use [nixGL](https://github.com/guibou/nixGL).
First, install it, in the same manner you installed Hyprland:
```sh
$ nix profile install github:guibou/nixGL
```
From now on, you can run Hyprland by invoking it with nixGL
```sh
$ nixGL Hyprland
```
or by creating a wrapper script that runs the above command inside.
### Upgrading
In order to upgrade, you can run
```sh
$ nix profile upgrade '.*'
```
in order to upgrade all your packages.
Check the
[nix profile](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-profile.html)
command documentation for other upgrade options.
