Nix

First of all, it is a good idea to set up Cachix before continuing with installing Hyprland.

After getting Cachix working, you have a few options ahead:

NixOS + Home Manager (recommended)

Hyprland is NOT supported on NixOS stable. It may (not) compile or work as intended. Please use the flake.

If you’re on NixOS and also use HM, it is a good idea to use Hyprland modules for both. Make sure the package options are the same for both modules.

If you do not plan on using the NixOS module, but want to use the HM module, you will have to enable all the options the NixOS module enables.

If you don’t plan on using any module, manually enable all the options that the modules have set.
