Hyprland is an independent Wayland compositor aiming to have more features than other Wayland compositors and be highly customizable, written in C++.

Be sure to update all the libraries in Hypr Libraries prior to updating this package to prevent configuration failures, and note that doing so will break ABI against the present version of Hyprland until you rebuild it. In most cases, Hyprland will still be running if the libraries have been updated while in the session, however. In any case, rebuild/update this package immediately after upgrading Hypr Libraries.

This may take a while to build. Feel free to do something else while this is building.

cpio (to build and install plugins)
Extract the udis86 submodule in place:
tar -xf ../udis86-5336633af70f3917760a6d441ff02d93477b0c86.tar.gz && mv -T udis86-5336633af70f3917760a6d441ff02d93477b0c86 subprojects/udis86
Install Hyprland by running the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-D CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON \
-D BUILD_TESTING=OFF \
-W no-dev -G Ninja .. &&
ninja
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf. The
default version is in /usr/share/hypr and will not be used and must
be copied to ~/.config/hypr
Create the config file:
mkdir -pv ~/.config/hypr && cp /usr/share/hypr/hyprland.conf ~/.config/hypr
Now inspect the file and make any changes to suit your workflow.
