## Core Dependencies
|

|

Install all packages:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yay -S hyprland hyprpaper hyprshot hyprpicker waybar mako swaylock swayidle grim slurp swappy alacritty tofi dolphin blueman-applet fcitx5 nm-applet polkit-kde-agent wob wl-screenrec ffmpeg wireplumber pulseaudio playerctl brightnessctl btop xsensors wl-paste xclip cliphist wl-copy waypaper wallust gnome-calculator ttf-hack
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Wallust Requirements
|
||||
For Wallust to work with vscode, you have to create the folder `~/.cache/wal/`. After creating the folder, run wallust once to generate the required color config and install the required [theme](ttps://github.com/dlasagno/vscode-wal-theme).
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yay -S ttf-hack
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Optional Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
### Alternative Launcher
|
||||
|
||||
Some keybinds use `wofi`, `rofi` or `fuzzel` as an alternative to `tofi`, e.g. the `Super + S` for wl-screenrec recording. You can install any of these launchers based on your preference but wallust is configured to use `tofi` by default.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yay -S rofi wofi fuzzel
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Video Compression (for screen recording)
|
||||
|
||||
The screencasting script uses `ffmpeg` for video compression. Ensure you have it installed:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yay -S ffmpeg
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Complete Installation Command
|
||||
|
||||
You can install all required packages with this single command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yay -S hyprland hyprpaper hyprshot hyprpicker waybar mako swaylock swayidle grim slurp swappy alacritty tofi dolphin blueman-applet fcitx5 nm-applet polkit-kde-agent wob wl-screenrec ffmpeg wireplumber pulseaudio playerctl brightnessctl btop xsensors wl-paste xclip cliphist wl-copy waypaper wallust gnome-calculator ttf-hack
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration Structure
|
||||
|
||||
The Hyprland configuration is organized as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
- `hyprland.conf` - Main configuration file that sources other configs
|
||||
- `config/autostart.conf` - Applications that start automatically
|
||||
- `config/keybinds.conf` - Keyboard shortcuts and bindings
|
||||
- `config/defaults.conf` - Default applications (terminal, file manager, etc.)
|
||||
- `config/environment.conf` - Environment variables
|
||||
- `scripts/` - Helper scripts for various functions
|
||||
|
||||
## Post-Installation Setup
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Audio Setup**: Ensure PulseAudio or PipeWire is properly configured
|
||||
2. **Input Method**: Configure fcitx5 if needed for international input
|
||||
3. **Bluetooth**: Use blueman-applet for Bluetooth device management
|
||||
4. **Network**: nm-applet provides network management in the system tray
|
||||
5. **Wallpapers**: Use waypaper to set and manage wallpapers
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
- If waybar doesn't start, check that all waybar modules dependencies are installed
|
||||
- For audio issues, verify PulseAudio/PipeWire service status
|
||||
- Screen lock issues may require proper PAM configuration
|
||||
- Missing fonts can cause display issues in applications
