• 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 Trixie or greater. As it needs a newer wayland packages!
• 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

  • Instructions are available in English and Spanish

• 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-gnome See below if your network or wifi became unmanaged after installation

• if you really want to change login manager, there are couple of things you need to carry out before running this install script
• first install sddm. the no-install-recommends is suggested else it will pull lots of plasma depencies.

sudo apt install --no-install-recommends -y sddm

• then ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure sddm choose sddm and then reboot.
• once reboot done, you can ran the script and choose sddm & sddm theme
• LINK for some guide

• If you opted to install SDDM theme, here's the LINK which is a modified fork of LINK
• If you opted to install GTK Themes, Icons, here's the LINK. This also includes Bibata Modern Ice cursor.

• 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 LINK and edit nvidia.sh in install-scripts directory to install proper gpu driver
• 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

• you can use this command to automatically clone the installer and ran the script for you

• 11 March 2025, due to popular request, created a guided uninstall.sh script. USE this with caution as it may render your system unstable.
• I will not be responsible if your system breaks
• The best still to revert to previous state of your system is via timeshift or snapper

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.

• With this new update to Debian-Hyprland the current Hyprland-Dots are now compatible with Debian. This applies only to Debian, not ubuntu.

• for the install part, kindly open issue on this repo
• for the Pre-configured Hyprland dots / configuration, submit issue here

• 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

• 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

• SEE HERE

• 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

• sddm blackscreen when log-out

• Installing SDDM if or any other Login Manager installed. See Issue 2 - SDDM

• network is down or become unmanaged This might help
