A simple, interactive way to set up Hyprland with curated configs and optional components.
It provides:
-
A guided installer
-
Optional components you can choose from
-
Ready-to-use configs if you want them
You can use it as a starting point, a reference, or a base to build your own setup on top of.
Getting started with Hyprland often means jumping between wiki pages, dotfiles, and Reddit posts — which can be fun, but also messy.
This repo exists to:
-
Bring those pieces together in one place
-
Make setup easier to follow
-
Save time when setting up or redoing a system
It doesn’t try to be “the one true setup”. It’s just a clean starting point that stays out of your way.
Please refer to the GitHub Wiki for full installation steps and guides:
