Installation

Process

The install script has 3 main sections

• [i]nstall

  • prepare temp list of packages install_pkg.lst from main package list custom_hypr.lst
  • if the user pass additional list custom_apps.lst, then add it to the list install_pkg.lst
  • if nvidia card is detected in system, add nvidia-dkms and nvidia-utils to the list install_pkg.lst
    • script also works for AMD and Intel system, it will just skip the nvidia packages.
  • install packages from install_pkg.lst
    • install AUR helper based on user input,
      • 1 for yay
      • 2 for paru
    • use pacman to install package if its available in official arch repo
    • use AUR helper ( detect if its yay or paru ) to install packages if its available in AUR

• [d]efault

  • exactly same as install, but with --noconfirm option
  • will skip user input and use default option(s) to install, but prompts sudo password when required

• [r]estore

  • uncompress tar.gz files from Source/arcs/ to the target location specified in restore_fnt.lst
  • backup existing config files to $HOME/.config/cfg_YYMMDD_HHhMMmSSs directory.
  • copy dot files from Configs directory to corresponding target location specified in restore_cfg.lst for installed packages
  • fix/update all the symlinks used

• [s]ervice

  • enable and start system services like sddm and bluetooth

Restoring Archives

Archive (tar.gz) files are restored/extracted based on restore_fnt.lst, a | delimited control file structured as,

<archive_name>|<target_path>

where column,

1. is a compressed tar.gz file named <archive_name>.tar.gz, should be located in Source/arcs/<archive_name>.tar.gz
2. is the target location to extract

Restoring Configs

Config/dot files are restored based on restore_cfg.lst, a | delimited control file structured as,

<target_path>|<dir_or_file_name1> <dir_or_file_name2>|<package_name1> <package_name2>

where column,

1. is the target location to copy
2. is the file or directory list separated by space to copy from Configs/ directory. Here all files in Configs/ should follow the same structure as its target directory (col 1).
3. is the package(s) names separated by space to check dependency, so if the package(s) is not installed it will not copy its corresponding config file(s)

Flow

Execution

The install script can be executed in different modes,

• for default full hyprland installation with all configs

./install.sh

• for full or minimal hyprland installation + your favorite packages (ex. custom_apps.lst)

./install.sh custom_apps.lst # full install custom_hypr.lst + custom_app.lst with configs
./install.sh -i custom_apps.lst # minimal install custom_hypr.lst + custom_app.lst without configs

• each section can also be independently executed as,

./install.sh -i # minimal install hyprland without any configs
./install.sh -d # minimal install hyprland without any configs, but with (--noconfirm) install
./install.sh -r # just restores the config files
./install.sh -s # start and enable system services
./install.sh -drs # same as ./install.sh, but with (--noconfirm) install
