For a list of available options, check the [Home Manager options](https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/options.html#opt-wayland.windowManager.hyprland.enable). {{< hint title=Note >}} - _(Required) NixOS Module_: enables critical components needed to run Hyprland properly - _(Optional) Home-manager module_: lets you declaratively configure Hyprland {{< /hint >}} ## Installation {{< tabs "uniqueid" >}} {{< tab "Home Manager" >}} Home Manager has options for Hyprland without needing to import the Flake module. ```nix { wayland.windowManager.hyprland.enable = true; } ``` {{< /tab >}} {{< tab "Flakes" >}} {{< hint >}} The flake module is merely an extension to the Home Manager downstream module. It is mainly used as a staging area for new options, so unless you're a tester you should use the downstream Home Manager module. {{< /hint >}} The following snippet of code tries to show how to bring the Hyprland flake from the flake input and import it into the module system. Feel free to make any adjustment for your setup. Don't forget to replace `user@hostname` with your username and hostname! ```nix # flake.nix { inputs = { nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable"; home-manager = { url = "github:nix-community/home-manager"; inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"; }; hyprland.url = "github:hyprwm/Hyprland"; }; outputs = {nixpkgs, home-manager, hyprland, ...}: { homeConfigurations."user@hostname" = home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration { pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux; modules = [ hyprland.homeManagerModules.default {wayland.windowManager.hyprland.enable = true;} # ... ]; }; }; } ``` {{< /tab >}} {{< tab "No flakes (with flake-compat)" >}} {{< hint >}} The flake module is merely an extension to the Home Manager downstream module. It is mainly used as a staging area for new options, so unless you're a tester you should use the downstream Home Manager module. {{< /hint >}} The following snippet of code tries to show how to bring the Hyprland flake from the flake input and import it into the module system. Feel free to make any adjustment for your setup. ```nix # home config {pkgs, ...}: let flake-compat = builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/edolstra/flake-compat/archive/master.tar.gz"; hyprland = (import flake-compat { src = builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/archive/master.tar.gz"; }).defaultNix; in { imports = [hyprland.homeManagerModules.default]; wayland.windowManager.hyprland.enable = true; } ``` {{< /tab >}} {{< /tabs >}} }; ## Usage Once the module is enabled, you can use it to declaratively configure Hyprland. Here is an example config, made to work with either the upstream Home Manager module, or the flake-based Home Manager module. ```nix # home.nix { wayland.windowManager.hyprland.settings = { "$mod" = "SUPER"; bind = [ "$mod, F, exec, firefox" ", Print, exec, grimblast copy area" ] ++ ( # workspaces # binds $mod + [shift +] {1..10} to [move to] workspace {1..10} builtins.concatLists (builtins.genList ( x: let ws = let c = (x + 1) / 10; in builtins.toString (x + 1 - (c * 10)); in [ "$mod, ${ws}, workspace, ${toString (x + 1)}" "$mod SHIFT, ${ws}, movetoworkspace, ${toString (x + 1)}" ] ) 10) ); }; } ``` ## Plugins Hyprland plugins can be added through the `plugins` option: ```nix wayland.windowManager.hyprland.plugins = [ inputs.hyprland-plugins.packages.${pkgs.system}.hyprbars "/absolute/path/to/plugin.so" ]; ``` For examples on how to build Hyprland plugins using nix see the [official plugins](https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprland-plugins). ## Fixing problems with themes If your themes for mouse cursor, icons or windows don't load correctly, try setting them with `home.pointerCursor` and `gtk.theme`, which enable a bunch of compatibility options that should make the themes load in all situations. Example configuration: ```nix home.pointerCursor = { gtk.enable = true; # x11.enable = true; package = pkgs.bibata-cursors; name = "Bibata-Modern-Classic"; size = 16; }; gtk = { enable = true; theme = { package = pkgs.flat-remix-gtk; name = "Flat-Remix-GTK-Grey-Darkest"; }; iconTheme = { package = pkgs.gnome.adwaita-icon-theme; name = "Adwaita"; }; font = { name = "Sans"; size = 11; }; }; ```
