How to Install Hyprland ?

AtoolV · 2024-11-13 09:31:48

Following this https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hyprland does not talk about the install,
then I followed this https://wiki.hyprland.org/Getting-Started/Installation/
And did "sudo pacman -S hyprland"
currently doing "startx" to start i3wm, I cant seem to start Hyprland by doing "# Hyprland",
can someone help me out here

Thanks
A newbie

That "#" symbol suggests you have either placed a comment before the command, thus causing it to be ignored, or you have run the command as root, which might not work with Hyprland and certainly isn't recommended.

Follow the advice in the wiki instead (run as your normal user): https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hyprland#Starting

Does that file have any more information? Please edit your post to use code tags instead of quote tags, as I have done above, it makes terminal output much more readable.

EDIT: and if this is with NVIDIA you might be out of luck: https://wiki.hyprland.org/Nvidia/

Please use [code][/code] tags, not "quote" tags. Edit your post in this regard.
