How to install hyprland on debain

This is my guide on how to install hyprland on debain

Introduction

This is my simple guide on how to install Hyprland, an Wayland compositer and window manager which I daily drive, on Debain Linux and Ubuntu.

Install

Either follow the steps below or read the official hyprland docs which I have contributed to my self and the steps are the same. On Debain make sure you have the trixie repos on (If you don't know how Click here) and run this in terminal. Note: You need a login manager (lightdm doesn't work) and it will install kitty a terminal emulator which hyprland uses.

T

# debian
sudo apt install hyprland kitty -y
# Ubuntu - this enables universe repos btw 
sudo add-apt-repository universe && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y hyprland

To summarise

This is a simple, easy way to install hyprland on debain. Hyprland looks dull without dotfiles - here are mine (they are still in development )
