Install_&_Update

🌐 Released version of this Hyprland-Dots are being pulled by these Hyprland-Install Scripts

• Fedora-Linux

• Arch-Linux

• OpenSUSE Tumbleweed

• Debian Trixie Linux

• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Linux

Note

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Project

• Just a small note regarding Ubuntu 24.04 - Hyprland project. This may not be updated as often as the Debian-Hyprland because history, LTS released version wont get much update on Hyprland depencies.

🔁 It is highly recommend, that in order to update to newer dot files (Hyprland-Dots), re-download and re-run the -Hyprland scripts above.

• This is because to ensure that apps / packages are properly installed. You will get the latest released version of the dotfiles.

🔔 Automatic copy of configurations

clone this repo by using git. Change directory, make executable and run the script

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/JaKooLit/Hyprland-Dots.git
cd Hyprland-Dots

to copy from upstream (possible bugs)

chmod +x copy.sh
./copy.sh

to copy from releases (more "stable")

chmod +x release.sh
./release.sh

to have a guided upgrade (experimental)

chmod +x upgrade.sh
./upgrade.sh

Note

The upgrade function script has exclusion folders

• For example, ~/.config/hypr/UserConfigs and UserScripts are excluded. Use the upgrade.sh with caution

🗒️ Manual copy (not recommended for newbies) as I may have missed something

• Backup your existing folders in ~/.config (advisable)
• copy all contents of configs into ~/.config, overwriting all
• copy contents of wallpapers into ~/Pictures/wallpapers/ (create wallpapers folder if required)
• make the Hyprland scripts executable

chmod +x $HOME/.config/hypr/scripts/*

• Make sure to execute initial symlinks else dunst, rofi and waybar will fail to launch

ln -sf "$HOME/.config/waybar/configs/<any waybar config of choice>" "$HOME/.config/waybar/config"
ln -sf "$HOME/.config/waybar/style/<any waybar style of choice>" "$HOME/.config/waybar/style.css"

• NOTE: for the above commands, you should navigate in waybar configs & styles directories and choose layout and styles of choice. YOu can symlink any of the configs and styles of choice.

• after that initialize pywal with wal -i path/wallpaper

• then run this

ln -sf "$HOME/.cache/wal/colors-rofi-dark.rasi" "$HOME/.config/rofi/pywal-color/pywal-theme.rasi"

💔 Updating dots

Note

Be sure to check the created the backup folders in ~/Pictures and ~/.config and delete as required. Hyprland-Dots v2.2 creates a backup whenever you ran either copy.sh or release.sh or even the distro-Hyprland install scripts

• at the moment, to update dots is to ran the automatic copy of dots (see above)
• after copy, log-out/log-in and then restore some settings from the created -backup folders in ~/.config/ . Previous ~/Pictures/wallpapers are also being backed up with file wallpapers-backup
