Arch Linux – Full Installation

This page provides full installation steps for Arch Linux and Arch-based distributions (Manjaro, EndeavourOS, etc.).

If you are new to Hyprland Rice, it is recommended to read the main Installation page first.

---

Requirements

• Arch Linux or an Arch-based distribution
• pacman working and up to date
• base-devel installed
• A working internet connection

Optional but recommended:

• An AUR helper (paru or yay)

---

Recommended method (installer)

The easiest way to install Hyprland-Rice on Arch Linux is using the interactive installer.

git clone https://github.com/realekansh/Hyprland-Rice.git
cd Hyprland-Rice
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

During installation, you will be asked:

• Which packages to install
• Whether to install optional components
• Whether to back up and copy configuration files

Already-installed packages will be skipped safely.

---

AUR support

On Arch-based systems, some packages may be installed from the AUR.

The installer can optionally install an AUR helper (paru or yay) if none is detected.

You will always be asked for confirmation before any AUR-related action.

---

Manual installation (advanced)

If you prefer full manual control, you can install packages and copy configuration files yourself.

In this case:

• Refer to the package lists in the packages/ directory
• Copy configuration files from config/ to ~/.config
• Ensure required services (pipewire, seatd, etc.) are enabled

This method is recommended only for experienced users.

---

After installation

• Log out of your current session
• Select Hyprland from your display manager
• Log in and verify your setup

If something goes wrong, check the log file and refer to the Logs, Errors, and Bugs page.
