In this video I will show you how to install Hyprland on almost* all Arch Linux based distributions. With a single command and the ML4W Hyprland Starter Package.
https://gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/hyprland-starter
Tested on Arch Linux, EndeavourOS, Garuda Linux, Arco Linux and more. * For Manjaro users: The installation can fail when packages are not yet available for Manjaro. But normally missing packages are available after a while.
You can install the Hyprland Starter on real hardware (bare metal) or test it first in a Virtual Machine based on QEMU/KVM with activated 3D acceleration.
The ML4W Hyprland Starter Package includes a script to install a core Hyprland system incl. the following packages:
Window Manager: hyprland
Status Bar: waybar
Launcher: rofi-wayland
Terminal: alacritty
Terminal: kitty #optional
Notification Service: dunst
File Manager: dolphin
xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland
qt5-wayland
qt6-wayland
Wallpaper: hyprpaper
Lock screen: hyprlock
Icons: ttf-font-awesome
- PLEASE NOTE: Nvidia hardware is not official supported by Hyprland. But many users reported success to install Hyprland with Nvida. Please refer to: https://wiki.hyprland.org/Nvidia/
After a successful installation you can install the new ML4W Hyprland Settings App to configure Hyprland without using a terminal. You can define the window border, gaps, blur, transparency and more, easily and on the fly.
