Hyprinstall

This project was created to make Arch Linux ricing easier for people who don't have much time or for people who don't want to do a lot of scripting. It's beautiful, simple and lightweight (Runs on 400MB idle on my pc from 2015)

⬇️ Setup ⬇️

Installation

Install Sway desktop with archinstall (NetworkManager) if problems occur try removing your disk's partitions with fdisk or cfdisk and then reboot or you might use pacman-key --init. Note that as desktop you shall use sway with pipewire, multilib and filesystem as EXT4.

Run hyprinstall !!DO THIS AS USER NOT ROOT!!

During xdg-desktop-portal pick xdg-desktop-portal-wlr. If you have a NVIDIA GPU you should type Nvidia when running the script else press enter to continue. Remeber to check the dropdown menus below if any problems occur

sudo pacman -Syu git
cd && git clone https://github.com/raminsamadi123/hyprinstall
cd ~/hyprinstall/
./hyprinstall.sh

If Hyprland is not automatically launching and you only get into tty try run this:

systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl enable --now getty@tty1.service && source ~/.bash_profile && reboot

Change Keyboard Layout

Install Vim or any editor of your choice

sudo pacman -Syu vim

Find out what your X11 layout is

localectl
localectl list-x11-keymap-layouts

Edit Hyprland Configuration file

sudo vim ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf

Under EXEC & INPUT change se to your x11 layout

Under EXEC:

exec-once = echo se > /tmp/kb_layout

Under INPUT:

kb_layout = se

🖥️ Monitor 🖥️

Change Monitor Position/Resolution/Refresh Rate

Install Vim or any editor of your choice

sudo pacman -Syu vim

Find your monitors output (It should look something like this if you use Display Port DP-1. For HDMI it's something else)

wl-randr

Edit Hyprland Configuration file

sudo vim ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf

Under MONITOR change monitor=,preferred,auto,1 to your preference

monitor=,preferred,auto,1

Here are some examples (Thanks to SinisterSpatula) :

#monitor=name, resolution, position, scale
monitor=DP-5, 2560x1440, 1920x0, 1.25
monitor=DP-6, 1920x1080, 0x0, 1

For highest resolution:

monitor=,highres,auto,1

For highest refresh rate:

monitor=,highrr,auto,1
