Setup Hyprland with ML4W 2.9.7.3 Dotfiles via Pamac GUI on CachyOS 241221 (bare metal)

 This setup via Pamac GUI on CachyOS looks a bit different from the way proposed finally in https://github.com/mylinuxforwork/dotfiles/wiki/installation . Pamac GUI makes steps of installation a bit more clear and brings some more light on what is going on behind the scene .

$ pacman -S --needed git base-devel

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git

$ cd yay

$ makepkg -si

$ cd

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/libpamac-aur.git

$ cd libpamac-aur

$ makepkg -si

$ cd ..

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/pamac-aur.git

$ cd pamac-aur

$ makepkg -si

Click icon "Add/Remove Software" , authorize via "Preferences" then add AUR Support and "Refresh databases". Afterwards install "ml4w-hyprland-git 2.9.7.3.rc0. . . ". Up on installation finished instance will prompt for reboot . Next step is supposed to run command $ ml4w-hyprland-setup. One more reboot will bring system to final shape 

Log out and select "HYPRLAND" from dropdown menu in left down corner of updated SDDM login promt screen

Hyprland with ML4W 2.9.7.1.RC2 Dotfiles as second DE for Manjaro 24.2 Yonada KDE Testing KVM Guest

Start setup below via remote ssh login into Manjaro  Yonada Plasma 6.2.4 Testing KVM Guest just to have "copy and paste" handy. First roll forward Manjaro Stable to Manjaro Testing Branch

$ sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch testing

$ sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 10 && sudo pacman -Syu

 If you have a corrupted package database and want to force synchronization, you can use "sudo pacman -Syyu"

$ sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 10 && sudo pacman -Syyu

and proceed  as follows

$ sudo reboot
$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
$ cd yay
$ makepkg -si
$ cd

Make sure yay has been built successfully

$ which yay
$ yay -S ml4w-hyprland-git

Now login into Manjaro Spice Console and run

$ ml4w-hyprland-setup

After vm's reboot you should be able login into Hyprland DE

Bring back to life Hyprland with ML4W 2.9.7 Dotfiles as second DE for Manjaro-KDE-24.1.2-241104 KVM Guest

 Straight forward run `sudo pacman -Syyu`  on Manjaro KDE as of 11/04/2024 failed. Several commands shown bellow finally brought me to success. Having stable Manjaro release rolled forward to a final state we can just replace "downgrade" by "manjaro-downgrade" to reproduce same approach as in my previous post to Lxer.com . Current version of ML4W Dotfiles appears to be 2.9.7.1DEV.

$ sudo pacman-key --init

$ sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux manjaro

$ sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring manjaro-keyring

$ sudo pacman -Scc

$ sudo pacman -Syyu
