The installation script is designed for a minimal Arch Linux install, but may work on some Arch-based distros. While installing HyDE alongside another DE/WM should work, due to it being a heavily customized setup, it will conflict with your GTK/Qt theming, Shell, SDDM, GRUB, etc. and is at your own risk.
For NixOS support there is a separate project being maintained @ Hydenix
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.
Caution
The script modifies your grub or systemd-boot config to enable NVIDIA DRM.
To install, execute the following commands:
pacman -S --needed git base-devel
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/abod8639/DexHyDE ~/DexHyDE
cd ~/DexHyDE/Scripts
./install.shTip
You can also add any other apps you wish to install alongside HyDE to Scripts/pkg_user.lst and pass the file as a parameter to install it like so:
./install.sh pkg_user.lstImportant
Refer your list from Scripts/pkg_extra.lst
or you can cp Scripts/pkg_extra.lst Scripts/pkg_user.lst if you wish to install all extra packages.
