# Hyprland & Critical Softwares 🖥️🔧
|
|
With the prerequisite base system established, we proceed to the core of this guide. This section delineates the process of installing Hyprland and configuring critical system software to ensure a robust and efficient workflow.
|
|
|
|
## Hyprland Installation 🚀
|
|
1. **Install Hyprland:**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pacman -S hyprland
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Pro Tip:💡** If you're feeling adventurous, you can always grab the bleeding-edge version from the AUR for the latest features and fixes.
|
|
|
|
2. **Initiate Hyprland:**
|
|
As we installed SDDM before, you can also start the session through it.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Hyprland
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Upon initial launch:** A top bar will display with a warning and commands to launch Kitty and exit Hyprland.
|
|
To remove the warning ⚠️:
|
|
|
|
* Launch Kitty using the shortcut **`(SUPER + Q)`**
|
|
* Navigate to `~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf` and either comment out or remove the line `autogenerated = 1`.
|
|
|
|
Essential default keybindings:
|
|
* **`SUPER + C`:** Kill the active window
|
|
* **`SUPER + M`:** Quit hyprland (but why would you want to?)
|
|
|
|
To access web resources, open Kitty and execute `brave-browser` to launch the Brave browser.
|
|
|
|
## Critical System Components 🛠️
|
|
1. **XDG Desktop Portal:** The XDG Desktop Portal is crucial for handling desktop functionalities such as file dialogs and screensharing.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Install Polkit:** Polkit manages system-wide privileges. Install the KDE version for compatibility:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pacman -S polkit-kde-agent
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* To autostart Polkit, append the following to your `hyprland.conf`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
exec-once=/usr/lib/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Note: Ensure there's no whitespace between `=` and `/`.
|
|
|
|
3. **QT Wayland Support:** Install the necessary libraries for QT applications to function correctly under Wayland:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pacman -S qt5-wayland qt6-wayland
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. **Notification Daemon:** A notification daemon is essential for managing system notifications. Many apps may freeze without one running. [Dunst](https://github.com/dunst-project/dunst) is a lightweight, customizable option:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pacman -S dunst
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* To autostart dunst, append the following to your `hyprland.conf`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
exec-once=/usr/bin/dunst
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Hyprland Session Reload 🔄
|
|
After installing the critical software components and making the necessary configurations, restart your Hyprland session to ensure all new settings and software are properly initialized and integrated.
