Fedora – Full Installation

This page provides full installation steps for Fedora and Red Hat-based distributions.

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


Requirements

  • Fedora Linux (Workstation or minimal install)
  • dnf working and up to date
  • A working internet connection
  • Wayland session support (default on Fedora)

Optional but recommended:

  • RPM Fusion repositories enabled

Recommended method (installer)

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

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

The installer will automatically detect Fedora and use the appropriate package manager.

During installation, you will be asked:

  • Which core and optional packages to install
  • Whether to install desktop utilities (bar, launcher, notifications, etc.)
  • Whether to back up and copy configuration files

Wayland and system notes

Fedora ships with strong Wayland support by default. Hyprland works best when running in a Wayland session.

If you are using a display manager:

  • Make sure Wayland is enabled
  • Select Hyprland from the session list after installation

Manual installation (advanced)

Advanced users may choose to install packages and apply configuration files manually.

In this case:

  • Refer to the Fedora-specific package lists in the packages/ directory
  • Install required packages using dnf
  • Copy configuration files from config/ to ~/.config

Manual installation is recommended only if you want full control over each component.


After installation

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

If something does not work as expected, check the installer log file and refer to the Logs, Errors, and Bugs page.
