Install
Important
hyprland-plugins only officially supports installation via
hyprpm.hyprpmautomatically detects your hyprland version & installs only the corresponding "pinned" release of hyprland-plugins. If you want the latest commits to hyprland-plugins, you need to usehyprland-git.
Install with hyprpm
To install these plugins, from the command line run:
hyprpm update
Then add this repository:
hyprpm add https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprland-plugins
then enable the desired plugin with
hyprpm enable <plugin-name>
See the respective README's in the subdirectories for configuration options.
See the plugins wiki and hyprpm -h for more details.
Install on Nix
To use these plugins, it's recommended that you are already using the Hyprland flake. First, add this flake to your inputs:
inputs = {
# ...
hyprland.url = "github:hyprwm/Hyprland";
hyprland-plugins = {
url = "github:hyprwm/hyprland-plugins";
inputs.hyprland.follows = "hyprland";
};
# ...
};
The inputs.hyprland.follows guarantees the plugins will always be built using
your locked Hyprland version, thus you will never get version mismatches that
lead to errors.
After that's done, you can use the plugins with the Home Manager module like this:
{inputs, pkgs, ...}: {
wayland.windowManager.hyprland = {
enable = true;
# ...
plugins = [
inputs.hyprland-plugins.packages.${pkgs.system}.hyprbars
# ...
];
};
}
If you don't use Home Manager:
{ lib, pkgs, inputs, ... }:
with lib; let
hyprPluginPkgs = inputs.hyprland-plugins.packages.${pkgs.system};
hypr-plugin-dir = pkgs.symlinkJoin {
name = "hyrpland-plugins";
paths = with hyprPluginPkgs; [
hyprexpo
#...plugins
];
};
in
{
environment.sessionVariables = { HYPR_PLUGIN_DIR = hypr-plugin-dir; };
}
And in hyprland.conf
# load all the plugins you installed
exec-once = hyprctl plugin load "$HYPR_PLUGIN_DIR/lib/libhyprexpo.so"
