Hyprland
Library and CLI tool for monitoring the Hyprland socket.
Installation

sh
sudo pacman -Syu meson vala json-glib gobject-introspection
sh
sudo dnf install meson gcc valac json-glib-devel gobject-introspection-devel
sh
sudo apt install meson valac libjson-glib-dev gobject-introspection
- clone repo
sh
git clone https://github.com/aylur/astal.git
cd astal/lib/hyprland
- install
sh
meson setup build
meson install -C build
TIP
Most distros recommend manual installs in /usr/local
, which is what meson
defaults to. If you want to install to /usr
instead which most package managers do, set the prefix
option:
sh
meson setup --prefix /usr build
