Dependencies:

Most of our dependencies are disponible in the official repos, for speed is recomendable to use nala package manager intead of apt

installing nala will keep apt

sudo apt-get install -y nala
sudo nala install -y meson wget build-essential ninja-build cmake-extras cmake gettext gettext-base fontconfig libfontconfig-dev libffi-dev libxml2-dev libdrm-dev libxkbcommon-x11-dev libxkbregistry-dev libxkbcommon-dev libpixman-1-dev libudev-dev libseat-dev seatd libxcb-dri3-dev libvulkan-dev libvulkan-volk-dev  vulkan-validationlayers-dev libvkfft-dev libgulkan-dev libegl-dev libgles2 libegl1-mesa-dev glslang-tools libinput-bin libinput-dev libxcb-composite0-dev libavutil-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libxcb-ewmh2 libxcb-ewmh-dev libxcb-present-dev libxcb-icccm4-dev libxcb-render-util0-dev libxcb-res0-dev libxcb-xinput-dev libpango1.0-dev xdg-desktop-portal-wlr hwdata-dev

or if you don't want to use nala apt replacement do:

sudo apt-get install -y meson wget build-essential ninja-build cmake-extras cmake gettext gettext-base fontconfig libfontconfig-dev libffi-dev libxml2-dev libdrm-dev libxkbcommon-x11-dev libxkbregistry-dev libxkbcommon-dev libpixman-1-dev libudev-dev libseat-dev seatd libxcb-dri3-dev libvulkan-dev libvulkan-volk-dev  vulkan-validationlayers-dev libvkfft-dev libgulkan-dev libegl-dev libgles2 libegl1-mesa-dev glslang-tools libinput-bin libinput-dev libxcb-composite0-dev libavutil-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libxcb-ewmh2 libxcb-ewmh-dev libxcb-present-dev libxcb-icccm4-dev libxcb-render-util0-dev libxcb-res0-dev libxcb-xinput-dev xdg-desktop-portal-wlr hwdata-dev

but some dependencies that we requiere are a little older in the repos so we need to build them

Building libs from source

first get all of our sources for building then extarct them

Hyprland and containing folder

mkdir HyprSource
cd HyprSource

## We get Source
wget https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/releases/download/v0.24.1/source-v0.24.1.tar.gz
tar -xvf source-v0.24.1.tar.gz

wget https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/releases/1.31/downloads/wayland-protocols-1.31.tar.xz
tar -xvJf wayland-protocols-1.31.tar.xz

wget https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/-/releases/1.22.0/downloads/wayland-1.22.0.tar.xz
tar -xzvJf wayland-1.22.0.tar.xz

wget https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/emersion/libdisplay-info/-/releases/0.1.1/downloads/libdisplay-info-0.1.1.tar.xz
tar -xvJf libdisplay-info-0.1.1.tar.xz

now only get inside each one, we build and install directly

build wayland 1.22.0

cd wayland-1.22.0
mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson setup ..            \
      --prefix=/usr       \
      --buildtype=release \
      -Ddocumentation=false &&
ninja
sudo ninja install

cd ../..

bulild wayland protocols

cd wayland-protocols-1.31

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release &&
ninja

sudo ninja install

cd ../..

Lets build libdisplay-info

cd libdisplay-info-0.1.1/

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release &&
ninja

sudo ninja install

cd ../..

Lets build Hyprland!!!

you will need to change the folder permisions due to the use of sudo, so in the future you can acces and modify the folder

chmod a+rw hyprland-source

cd hyprland-source/

modify config.mk and change PREFIX=/usr/local to PREFIX=/usr or use this command

sed -i 's/\/usr\/local/\/usr/g' config.mk

also in that file you could use your custom cflags as for example adding -O3 or -Ofast optimization even -Og etc..

then only do:

sudo make install

*enjoy Hyprland !!

you need to search the repos of pikaos almost all the deps are in it
@Vertecedoc4545 can you add these repos links to the gist because they are stable

I've been building a Hyprland deb package for PikaOS (which is a ubuntu based distro) so anyone struggling you could grab the .deb from here and install it with dpkg: https://ppa.pika-os.com/pool/main/h/hyprland/

We also have debs for all the libs required to build it and runtime ones. So you might want to add our mirror to make it easier.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I was able to use this to Install Hyprland.

I am running Ubuntu 22.04. I installed Hyprland up by downloading pika-sources.deb, https://ppa.pika-os.com/dists/lunar/pika-sources.deb.

⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ This is a very hacky way to install it and your mileage may vary. Make sure you understand what is going on before copying these steps, but this worked for me.

Installing it manually using dpkg i.e. `sudo dpkg -i ./pika-sources.deb`, then doing:

(There may be a few other files you need to copy, such as the GPG key in the deb)

dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile pika-sources.deb | tar xv
sudo cp ./usr/share/etc/apt/source.list.d/system.sources /etc/apt/sources.list.d/system.sources
sudo apt update
sudo apt install hyprland xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland -y

# To avoid needing to do 1600+ updates because this is using 23.04 sources I removed the source file
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/system.sources

Edit: Thanks to @neilbags for raising the issue with my original post should've been more careful!

Then I removed the Pika source because I didn't want to risk breaking my system by upgrading 1600 packages 😓. Because lunar is based on Ubuntu 23.04.

And don't forget to revert your sources.list file back to this: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/hakerdefo/9c99e140f543b5089e32176fe8721f5f/raw/7ac6ccf882bb0d39297962f0baedce5721c9be65/sources.list

I am running Ubuntu 22.04. I installed Hyprland up by downloading pika-sources.deb, https://ppa.pika-os.com/dists/lunar/pika-sources.deb.

Just a warning to everyone else - installing this deb wipes out your /etc/apt/sources.list

If I remember correctly alt + f2 will send you to the console where you can just uninstall hyprland and reinstall gnome. Shouldnt be too complicated. If you want the easier way you just save your data and reinstall linux

Reinstalling gnome did absolutely nothing, I already reinstalled linux because it was messed up from the beginning, I was using plasma on Ubuntu so I switched to Kubuntu

@YeesterPlus seems you're using self-written install script (hyprinstall.sh)
as error said, needed directory doen't found. this may caused by working directory discrepancy or missing dependencies.

here's script that I used to build hyprland v0.4.0 on Ubuntu noble. if you're still stucking, please try this.

@defxsec for this just go to the hyprland repo take .desktop file and put it where the building from source doc from original hyprland says it

Installing Hyprland through PikaOS Repository

For anyone wanting to install hyprland from the pika-os repo, which is easier (but only if ya trust them), here is a neat and concise guide for adding the PikaOS repository, installing Hyprland, including the fix for hyprland not showing up on login screen... Since some of y'all are new to linux.

1. Download and Install the GPG Key

  1. Create a Directory for Keyrings (Skips automatically, if exists):

    sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/keyrings

  2. Download and Add the GPG Key:

    wget -qO- https://ppa.pika-os.com/key.gpg | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/pikaos-archive-keyring.gpg

2. Add the Repository

  1. Create the Repository List File:

    sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pikaos.list

  2. Add the Repository Entry:
    Add the following line to the file:

    deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/pikaos-archive-keyring.gpg] https://ppa.pika-os.com pikauwu main external

    This line includes:

    • arch=amd64: Specifies the architecture (adjust if necessary or leave as it is).
    • signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/pikaos-archive-keyring.gpg: Uses the GPG keyring for repository verification.
    • https://ppa.pika-os.com: Base URL for the repository.
    • pikauwu main external: Specifies the distribution and components.

3. Update Package List

Update your package list to include packages from the new repository:

sudo apt update

4. Install Packages

You can now install packages from the repository. In our case, to install hyprland:

sudo apt install hyprland

(Optional) If Hyprland does not show up in the login screen, you may need to add a .desktop file for it in the appropriate directory and maybe restart. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Create the .desktop File

  1. Open a Terminal and Create/Edit the File:

    sudo nano /usr/share/xsessions/hyprland.desktop

  2. Add the Following Content:

    [Desktop Entry]
Name=Hyprland
Comment=Hyprland Window Manager
Exec=hyprland
Type=Application
DesktopNames=Hyprland
    • Name: The name that will appear in the login screen.
    • Comment: A short description of the window manager.
    • Exec: The command to start Hyprland.
    • Type: The type of desktop entry.
    • DesktopNames: The name of the desktop environment (optional, used in some login managers).

  3. Save and Exit:

    Save the file and exit the editor (Ctrl + O, Enter, Ctrl + X).

2. Ensure Permissions Are Correct

Make sure the .desktop file has the correct permissions:

sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/xsessions/hyprland.desktop

3. Restart the Display Manager

Restart your display manager to refresh the login screen options. The exact command may vary depending on your display manager (or just try all of them xD):

  • GDM (GNOME Display Manager):

    sudo systemctl restart gdm

  • LightDM:

    sudo systemctl restart lightdm

  • SDDM (Simple Desktop Display Manager):

    sudo systemctl restart sddm

4. Log In

Restart your system or log out and Hyprland should appear as an option in your login screen. Try to select Hyprland from the login screen.

Well that's it lads, have a great day and have fun ricing! 💛

Edit: It seems that @katabame has a way easier solution. I would recommend to follow their method than the above for anyone who wants to install in future, here is the comment for reference:

Thanks for referencing my repository!
I'm using that repository for my own environment, so it can install keep updated hyprland.
I wrote that repository for Ubuntu noble (checking codename) so maybe there's a chance to fail installation on other Ubuntu/Debian-based repository.
If that happens, please open issue with occured environment! I'll try fix it :)

Edit: also there's another repository/project for install hyprland on Ubuntu/Debian environment with feature-rich hyprland maintained by another person. you might also like check it out
