🗒 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 (the SSID of your network.)

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.
