This is the command to install all of the packages above (will only work with Arch Linux or an Arch-based distro!):

yay -Syu --needed git gobject-introspection ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols-mono curl uwsm hyprland hypridle hyprlock hyprpaper socat hyprpicker kitty cliphist wireplumber networkmanager pipewire dart-sass glycin glycin-gtk4 ibus procps-ng hyprpolkitagent jq pnpm gjs typescript aylurs-gtk-shell-git libastal-meta python-pywal16 hyprshot hyprsunset wf-recorder overskride

💡 Tips

If you can't find one of the listed packages in your package manager, here are some tips to get it for your distro!

Fedora

On Fedora, if the package is not available through dnf, you can try searching in copr(Fedora's community repos). But remember to get a trustful one! Or you can try building your own package if you have time to do so, it would be amazing to the distro community!

Arch Linux and other Arch based distros

You can try searching for the packages in the Official Arch Repos(pacman), or use any of the AUR Helpers(e.g.: yay or paru)
