For a list of available options, check the
[Home Manager options](https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/options.xhtml#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 "No flakes (with flake-compat)" >}}

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;
};
};
```
