While installing HyDE alongside another [DE](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Desktop_environment)/[WM](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Window_manager) should work, due to it being a heavily customized setup, it **will** conflict with your [GTK](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GTK)/[Qt](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Qt) theming, [Shell](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Command-line_shell), [SDDM](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SDDM), [GRUB](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB), etc. and is at your own risk. For Nixos support there is a separate project being maintained @ [Hydenix](https://github.com/richen604/hydenix/tree/main) > [!IMPORTANT] > The install script will auto-detect an NVIDIA card and install nvidia-dkms drivers for your kernel. > Please ensure that your NVIDIA card supports dkms drivers in the list provided [here](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA). > [!CAUTION] > The script modifies your `grub` or `systemd-boot` config to enable NVIDIA DRM. To install, execute the following commands: ```shell pacman -S --needed git base-devel git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/prasanthrangan/hyprdots ~/HyDE cd ~/HyDE/Scripts ./install.sh ``` > [!TIP] > You can also add any other apps you wish to install alongside HyDE to `Scripts/custom_apps.lst` and pass the file as a parameter to install it like so: > > ```shell > ./install.sh custom_apps.lst > ``` As a second install option, you can also use `Hyde-install`, which might be easier for some. View installation instructions for HyDE in [Hyde-cli - Usage](https://github.com/kRHYME7/Hyde-cli?tab=readme-ov-file#usage). Please reboot after the install script completes and takes you to the SDDM login screen (or black screen) for the first time. For more details, please refer to the [installation wiki](https://github.com/prasanthrangan/hyprdots/wiki/Installation). <a id="updating"></a> <img src="Source/assets/Updating.gif" width="200"/> --- To update HyDE, you will need to pull the latest changes from GitHub and restore the configs by running the following commands: ```shell cd ~/HyDE/Scripts git pull ./install.sh -r ``` > [!IMPORTANT] > Please note that any configurations you made will be overwritten if listed to be done so as listed by `Scripts/restore_cfg.lst`. > However, all replaced configs are backed up and may be recovered from in `~/.config/cfg_backups`. As a second update option, you can use `Hyde restore ...`, which does have a better way of managing restore and backup options. For more details, you can refer to [Hyde-cli - dots management wiki](https://github.com/kRHYME7/Hyde-cli/wiki/Dots-Management). <div align="right"> <br> <a href="#-design-by-t2"><kbd> <br> 🡅 <br> </kbd></a> </div> <a id="themes"></a> <img src="Source/assets/Themes.gif" width="200"/> --- All our official themes are stored in a separate repository, allowing users to install them using themepatcher.
