You can use the Home Manager module by adding it to your configuration: For a list of available options, check the [module file](https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/blob/main/nix/hm-module.nix). {{< 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 The following snippets of code try 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. {{< tabs "uniqueid" >}} {{< tab "Flakes" >}} 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)" >}} ```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; extraConfig = '' bind = SUPER, Return, exec, kitty # ... ''; }; } ``` {{< /tab >}} {{< /tabs >}} ## Usage Once the module is enabled, you can use it to declaratively configure Hyprland: ```nix # home.nix {config, pkgs, ...}: { wayland.windowManager.hyprland.extraConfig = '' $mod = SUPER bind = $mod, F, exec, firefox bind = , Print, exec, grimblast copy area # workspaces # binds $mod + [shift +] {1..10} to [move to] workspace {1..10} ${builtins.concatStringsSep "\n" (builtins.genList ( x: let ws = let c = (x + 1) / 10; in builtins.toString (x + 1 - (c * 10)); in '' bind = $mod, ${ws}, workspace, ${toString (x + 1)} bind = $mod SHIFT, ${ws}, movetoworkspace, ${toString (x + 1)} '' ) 10)} # ... ''; } ``` ## Plugins Hyprland plugins can be added through an option: ```nix wayland.windowManager.hyprland.plugins = [ inputs.hyprland-plugins.packages.${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: ``` home-manager = { useGlobalPkgs = true; useUserPackages = true; users.username = { home = { stateVersion = "23.05"; pointerCursor = { gtk.enable = true; # x11.enable = true; package = pkgs.bibata-cursors; name = "Bibata-Modern-Amber"; size = 32; }; }; gtk = { enable = true; theme = { package = pkgs.flat-remix-gtk; name = "Flat-Remix-GTK-Grey-Darkest"; }; iconTheme = { package = pkgs.libsForQt5.breeze-icons; name = "breeze-dark"; }; font = { name = "Sans"; size = 11; }; }; }; }; ```
