WARNING : Install script will auto-detect nvidia card and install nvidia-dkms drivers for your kernel. Nvidia drm will be enabled only in grub and Hyperland is launched by sddm!!

Main install script

After minimal Arch install (with grub), clone and execute -

pacman -Sy git
git clone https://github.com/prasanthrangan/hyprdots ~/Dots
cd ~/Dots/Scripts
./install.sh

If you get this prompt, select xdg-desktop-portal-gtk (option 2) -

:: There are 5 providers available for xdg-desktop-portal-impl:
:: Repository extra:
    1) xdg-desktop-portal-gnome  2) xdg-desktop-portal-gtk  3) xdg-desktop-portal-kde
:: Repository community:
    4) xdg-desktop-portal-lxqt  5) xdg-desktop-portal-wlr
Enter a number (default=1): 2

Make sure you don't have any other xdg-desktop-portal-* packages installed (except xdg-desktop-portal-gtk for file dialogs)

pacman -Q | grep xdg-desktop-portal-

Please reboot after the install script completes and takes you to sddm login screen for the first time.

These packages will be installed by the script

NOTE : You can also create your own file (for ex. custom_app.lst) with all your favorite apps and pass the file as a parameter to install it -

./install.sh custom_app.lst
