About

Installation

Requires a minimal Arch Linux install with internet access and a non-root user with sudo.

git clone https://github.com/mattsu014/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
bash install.sh

The script will:

• Install yay (AUR helper) if not present
• Install all pacman and AUR packages
• Compile and install hellpaper from source
• Enable NetworkManager, Bluetooth and PipeWire services
• Copy all configs to their correct locations (with .bak backups)
• Apply pywal on the first wallpaper found
• Update font cache

After the script finishes, start Hyprland from a TTY:

# Add to the end of ~/.bashrc:
[[ $(tty) == /dev/tty1 ]] && exec Hyprland

Or install a display manager:

sudo pacman -S sddm && sudo systemctl enable sddm
