• 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 Testing (Trixie) Branch as it needs a newer wayland packages! I have tried on Stable Debian 12 Bookworm in which, Hyprland wont build.
• In theory, it should also work on Debian SID (unstable) but I have not tested yet.
• 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
• If you have login Manager already like GDM (gnome login manager), I highly advice not to install SDDM. But if you decide to install SDDM, see here Issue 2 - SDDM

• This Repo does not contain Hyprland Dots or configs! Dotfiles can be checked here Hyprland-Dots . During installation, if you opt to copy installation, it will be downloaded from that centralized repo.
• Hyprland-Dots use are constantly evolving / improving. you can check CHANGELOGS here Hyprland-Dots-Changelogs
• Since the Hyprland-Dots are evolving, some of the screenshots maybe old
• the wallpaper offered to be downloaded towards the end is from this REPO

• This script is meant to install in Debian Testing (Trixie). May work with SID. Will not work with Bookworm
• If However, decided to try, 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 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

• nwg-look is a utility to costumize your GTK theme. It's a LXAppearance like. Its a good tool though but this package is entirely optional

• inside the install-scripts folder, you can edit 00-hypr-pkgs.sh. Do not edit 00-dependencies.sh unless you know what you are doing. Care though as the Hyprland Dots may not work properly!
• default GTK theme if agreed to be installed is Tokyo night GTK themes (dark and light) + Tokyo night SE icons

• If you opted to install SDDM theme, here's the LINK
• If you opted to install GTK Themes, Icons and Cursor offered are Tokyo Nights. LINK & Bibata Cursor Modern Ice

• 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
