Install Hyprland on Arch Linux with the Hyprland Starter 2.0. Base installation script.

In this video, I will show you how you can install the dynamic tiling window manager Hyprland in a base configuration on Arch Linux based distributions with the Hyprland Starter script version 2.0.

You can download the script from Gitlab:
https://gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/hyprland-starter

The script will install the following packages:
Window Manager: hyprland
Status Bar: waybar
Launcher: rofi
Launcher: wofi #optional
Terminal: kitty #optional
Terminal: alacritty
Notification Service: dunst
File Manager: dolphin
xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland
qt5-wayland
qt6-wayland
Wallpaper: hyprpaper
Icons: ttf-font-awesome

As an example, I will install Hyprland with the Hyprland Starter on Manjaro Linux.
https://manjaro.org/

You can use this script as a starting point for your personal Hyprland experiments or to customize it to create your own installer by adding more packages.

Linux is a great Operating System (OS) to support me daily at my business. Linux is stable, fast and you can customize it to individual needs. In this channel, I want to share my setup of Arch Linux and show how I use my system as a daily driver.

  • Stephan, you are really a good master. It was the first successful step for me, for hyprland

  • Once again a great install/setup script, thank you.

  • Sweet I'll try this out, but what's new in 2.0? Updated packages? New optimized script? I'm having an issue with xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland and I'm wondering if this starter script will help fix it.

    EDIT: I installed this starter 2.0 on a minimal Arch install followed by the 2.6.1 dotfiles (maybe the beta by accident? lol) and it seems to have solved my xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland issues. I'm guessing it was a mismatch of hyprland and xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland versions, and it was conflicting with stuff. Thanks for this updated script!

  • Thanks for your amazing videos and extremely helpful and time saving scripts! Worked like a charm! 🎉

  • Some suggestions
    Could be nice to choose which packages to install (except core ones)
    Example I want to run hyprland on already installed gnome desktop.
    I won't go for dolphin ( will bring mostly all plasma pile with it).
    I didn't see if there's a backup of config folder…
    If not, could be a good choice.
    Tks a lot for your work.

  • Why bloat it up with plasma ?

    pacman -S sddm and systemctl enable sddm
    will do the same if you want sddm

    other display managers aunt officially supported but usually work fine I have been using ly with hyprland for a while but I eventually went back to login via tty and running Hyprland from there afterwards

  • Worked very well on Manjaro, tested within the first hour of this update.
    Thank you 👍

  • Please make a basic video of what should be done after installing hyprland such as setting env variables cursors themes etc

  • Hi. I used your script from video HYPRLAND and QTILE with my dotfiles 2.6.and was amazing. I have one question how I can install wake on lan? Sorry I'm noob.

  • I'd rather use my linux computer – than spend the next few months trying to figure out this new desktop. I feel the same way towards Nix OS. Big complicated woop.
