Important
install a backup tool like snapper or timeshift. and Backup your system before installing hyprland using this script. This script does NOT include uninstallation of packages
Note
Main reason why I have not included an uninstallation script is simple. Some packages maybe already installed on your system by default. If I create an uninstall script with packages that I have set to install, you may end up a unrecoverable system.
Caution
Download this script on a directory where you have write permissions. ie. HOME. Or any directory within your home directory. Else script will fail
- Do not run this installer as sudo or as root
- This Installer requires a user with a priviledge to install packages
- Needs a Debian 13 Testing (Trixie) Branch as it needs a newer wayland packages! I have tried on Stable Debian 12 Bookworm in which, Hyprland wont build.
- edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and remove # on lines with deb-src to enable source packaging else will not install properly especially Hyprland
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list-
delete # on the lines with 'deb-src'
-
ensure to allow to install non-free drivers especially for users with NVIDIA gpus. You can also install non-free drivers if required. Edit install-scripts/nvidia.sh and change the nvidia stuff's if required
-
If you have login Manager already like GDM (gnome login manager), I highly advice not to install SDDM. But if you decide to install SDDM, see here
Issue 2 - SDDM
Important
If you are using Gnome already, DO NOT install the SDDM. The GDM Login Manager works well with Hyprland. For some reason, during installation, you will be asked which login manager you wanted to use. But during my test, nothing happened.
Warning
If you have GDM already as log-in manager, DO NOT install SDDM
You will encounter issues. See Issue 2 - SDDM

This Repo does not contain Hyprland Dots or configs! Pre-configured Dotfiles are on
Hyprland-Dots. During installation, if you opt to copy pre-configured dots, it will be downloaded from that centralized repo. -
Hyprland-Dots use are constantly evolving / improving. you can check CHANGELOGS here

- This script is meant to install in Debian Testing (Trixie) and Debian Unstable (SID). This script Will NOT work with Bookworm
- If However, decided to try, recommend to install SDDM. Apart from GDM and SDDM, any other Login Manager may not work nor launch Hyprland. However, hyprland can be launched through tty by type Hyprland
- 🕯️ network-manager-gnome (nm-applet) has been removed from the packages to install. This is because it is known to restart the networkmanager causing issues in the installation process. After you boot up, inorder to get the network-manager applet, install network-manager-gnome.
sudo apt install network-manager-gnomeSee below if your network or wifi became unmanaged after installation - If you have nvidia, and wanted to use proprietary drivers, uninstall nouveau first (if installed). This script will be installing proprietary nvidia drivers and will not deal with removal of nouveau.
- NVIDIA users / owners, after installation, check
THIS
- inside the install-scripts directory, you can edit 01-hypr-pkgs.sh. Do not edit 00-dependencies.sh unless you know what you are doing. Care though as the Hyprland Dots may not work properly!
- If you opted to install SDDM theme, here's the
LINK - If you opted to install GTK Themes, Icons here's the

- by default it is installing the latest and newest nvidia drivers. If you have an older nvidia-gpu (GTX 800 series and older), check out nvidia-debian website
LINKand edit nvidia.sh in install-scripts directory to install proper gpu driver
Important
If you want to use nouveau driver, choose N when asked if you have nvidia gpu. This is because the nvidia installer part, it will blacklist nouveau. Hyprland will still be installed but it will skip blacklisting nouveau.
Important
Another important note for nvidia owners If you have nvidia, by default debian is installing nouveau or open-source nvidia driver. If you want to keep the default nvidia driver installed by Debian, choose N on the if you have nvidia question. Or else you will encounter same issue as SDDM above.
clone this repo (latest commit only) by using git. Change directory, make executable and run the script
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/JaKooLit/Debian-Hyprland.git ~/Debian-Hyprland
cd ~/Debian-Hyprland
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
installer should auto change your default shell to zsh. However, if it does not, do this
chsh -s $(which zsh)
zsh
source ~/.zshrc- reboot or logout

Tip
To update to latest packages, re-running this script will auto update all. Script is configured to pull latest packages build for you.
Most common question I got is, Hey Ja, Why the heck it is taking long time to install? Other distro like Arch its only a minute or two. Why here takes like forever?!?!?!
- Well, most of the core packages are downloaded and Build and compiled from SOURCE. Unlike Other distros, they already have prepacked binary that can just download and install.
Important
This is very Important for Debian and Ubuntu Dots
-
Some parts of KooL's Hyprland Dots
LINKare not compatible on Debian and Ubuntu especially the hyprland settings. -
That is the reason the DOTS for those distro's are "fixed" and they are being pulled on the releases. This releases are NOT in any of the branches of the KooL's Hyprland Dots.
-
for Debian and Ubuntu if you want to update from newest KooL's dots versions (main branch), after running copy.sh, you will have 100% error which will appear on top. However, Hyprland is very good in pin pointing those errors.
-
You can simply just remove those lines or add # on those lines. Then, it should be ok.
- some users reported that they have to install some packages. It is in the install-scripts/force-install.sh
- At this time the packages force to install are the following
imagemagick
Note
This script does not setup audio. Kindly set up. If you have not, I recommend pipewire. sudo apt install -y pipewire

- CD into Debian-Hyprland DIrectory and then ran the below command.
- i.e.
./install-scripts/gtk-themes.sh- to reinstall GTK Themes or ./install-scripts/sddm.sh- to reinstall sddm
Important
DO NOT CD into install-scripts directory as script as it will fail. Scripts are designed to ran outside install-scripts directory for installation logging purposes.
- possibly adding gruvbox themes, cursors, icons
- reports from members of my discord, states that some users of nvidia are getting stuck on sddm login. credit to @Kenni Fix stated was
while in sddm press ctrl+alt+F2 or F3
log into your account
`lspci -nn`, find the id of your nvidia card
`ls /dev/dri/by-path` find the matching id
`ls -l /dev/dri/by-path` to check where the symlink points to
)
-
add "env = WLR_DRM_DEVICES,/dev/dri/cardX" to the ENVvariables config
~/.config/hypr/UserConfigs/ENVariables.conf; X being where the symlink of the gpu points to -
more info from the hyprland wiki
Hyprland Wiki Link -
reports from a member of discord for Nvidia for additional env's
-
remove # from the following env's on
env = GBM_BACKEND,nvidia-drm
env = WLR_RENDERER_ALLOW_SOFTWARE,1
Note
Auto start of Hyprland after login (no SDDM or GDM or any login managers)
- This was disabled a few days ago. (19 May 2024). This was because some users, after they used the Distro-Hyprland scripts with other DE (gnome-wayland or plasma-wayland), if they choose to login into gnome-wayland for example, Hyprland is starting.
- to avoid this, I disabled it. You can re-enable again by editing
~/.zprofile. Remove all the # on the first lines - ROFI issues (scaling, unexplained scaling etc). This is most likely to experience if you are installing on a system where rofi is currently installed. To fix it uninstall rofi and install rofi-wayland .
sudo apt autoremove rofi. - Install rofi-wayland with
cd ~/Debian-Hyprland
./install-scripts/rofi-wayland.sh-
Rofi-wayland is compatible with x11 so no need to worry.

Does not work in Debian Bookworm

pyprland is a hit and miss. Drop down not working, zooming is hit and miss

Discord - Feel free to copy, re-distribute, and use this script however you want. Would appreciate if you give me some loves by crediting my work :)
- As stated above, these script does not contain actual config files. These are only the installer of packages
- The development branch of this script is pulling the latest "stable" releases of the Hyprland-Dotfiles.
