Hyprland often needs dependencies which aren't yet cached in `cache.nixos.org`. Instead of requiring you to build those dependencies (which may include `mesa`, `ffmpeg`, etc), we provide a Cachix cache that you can add to your Nix substituters. The [Hyprland Cachix](https://app.cachix.org/cache/hyprland) exists to cache the `hyprland` packages and any dependencies not found in `cache.nixos.org`. {{< hint >}} In order for Nix to take advantage of the cache, it has to be enabled **before** enabling the Hyprland module(s) or adding the package. {{< /hint >}} {{< hint type=important >}} Overriding Hyprland's `nixpkgs` input (`inputs.hyprland.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";`) will make the cache useless, since you're building from a different Nixpkgs commit. {{< /hint >}} ```nix # configuration.nix { nix.settings = { substituters = ["https://hyprland.cachix.org"]; trusted-public-keys = ["hyprland.cachix.org-1:a7pgxzMz7+chwVL3/pzj6jIBMioiJM7ypFP8PwtkuGc="]; }; } ```
