Installation

The installation script is made for Arch, but may work on some Arch based distros with systemd. For Debian, please refer Senshi111's version here. Checkout Ksk's video for full installation walkthrough.

Important

Install script will auto-detect nvidia card and install nvidia-dkms drivers for your kernel. So please ensure that your Nvidia card supports dkms drivers and hyprland.

Caution

The script modifies your grub config to enable Nvidia drm and theme. This script is also designed to be done after a minimal arch installation, using it on previously installed desktop should work but will change whatever you currently have (gtk/qt theming, shell, sddm, grub, etc) and is at your own risk.

After a minimal Arch install (with grub and systemd), clone and execute -

pacman -Sy git
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/prasanthrangan/hyprdots ~/Hyprdots
cd ~/Hyprdots/Scripts
./install.sh

Tip

You can also create your own list (for ex. custom_apps.lst) with all your favorite apps and pass the file as a parameter to install it -

./install.sh custom_apps.lst

Please reboot after the install script completes and takes you to sddm login screen (or black screen) for the first time. For more details, please refer installation wiki

Updating

To update Hyprdots you will need to pull the latest changes from github and restore the configs by doing -

cd ~/Hyprdots/Scripts
git pull
./install.sh -r

Important

This backs up and overwrites all configs as setup by restore_cfg.lst in ~/Hyprdots/Scripts. So please note that any configurations you made may be overwritten if listed to be done so, but can be recovered in ~/.config/cfg_backups.
