🗒 Introduction.

Note:

Here I Will write a step-to-step of how setup Hyprland. Why? because I hate to watch video about how to do something. I just like to read and my own thoughts. So, this will be my written guide in case I need.

📖 Guide:

Setting Up Arch.

After booting in the pen-drive with the Arch ISO, y'all be in this screen.

NOTE

If you are using a Ethernet cable, you don't need to do this.

📶 Arch network.

If you are using a laptop you need to connect to a Wi-fi using the iwctl command. Type this command and hit enter:

root@archiso# iwctl

And now we are in the iwctl interface.

First we need to scan the networks nearby:

iwd# station wlan0 scan

WARNING

If you are dumb and don't know the SSID of your network:

iwd# station wlan0 get-networks

Here you get a list of networks around.

Now connect to your Wi-fi using:

iwd# station wlan0 connect SSID

After hit enter you need to type the passphrase, be careful because you can't see the digits.

To see if you are connected:

iwd# station wlan0 show

If worked you will see all the information about the network.

🔧 Installing The Arch Linux

After hit the:

$ archinstall

You get the installer script. Here, choose whatever you prefer.

NOTE

In the "Profile" section of the installer, I always choose desktop, never minimal, because my Dell potato don't boot for some reason when I choose that.

To proceed with this guide, in the "Profile" section, select "Hyprland".

💻 First Boot.

Now that the script and install is over, after a reboot you probably will get something like this:

📶 Hyprland network.

You can use the command:

$ nmtui

Which have a beautiful UI and very intuitive.

But here if you want something more direct:

$ nmcli device wifi connect SSID password PASSPHRASE

If worked, you get a message saying that is connected.

📦 Installing package manager.

The package manager that I use is yay, which I think is the best. Choose one of your preference. In non-Arch based, I suggest Homebrew.

yay install:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si

Now, yay is installed.

🛠️ Hyprland script.

After the yay install, go back to the opt:

$ cd /opt/

Now, if you don't have a Hyprland config (Probably) to start using and learn you can use the Sol Does Tech one, which I think is great for beginners.

First clone his repository:

$ sudo git clone https://github.com/soldoestech/hyprland.git
$ sudo chown -R USER:USER hyprland/
$ cd hyprland/
$ chmod +x set-hypr
$ ./set-hypr

Now the script will start.

Questions:

1. Disable Wi-fi powersave?: Yes.
2. Install the packages?: Yes.
3. Copy the config files?: Yes.
4. Install Starship shell?: Personal (Yes.)
5. Install Asus ROG software support?: In my case (No.)

At this point your done installing the Hyprland!

NOTE

If you are interest in some configs, check my Dotfiles file.
