Installing Hyprland is very easy. Simply install it with your package manager

It is **heavily** recommended you use **what the distro packages for you**, and **not** compiling manually
or using `-git` packages.
Hyprland's ecosystem and dependencies change often, and compiling manually will only potentially expose you to outdated,
or incompatible versions of these dependencies.

If you get `.so` file mismatch / missing errors, it's _entirely your fault_ for doing this!

This project is under development and is constantly changing. If you want to
keep up to date with the latest commits, please consider updating your packages
with `yay -Syu --devel`, or your preferred package manager.
However, if you are an experienced user and want to beta-test new features, you're more than welcome to run the latest
git head. Please don't come asking about ".so file missing" errors though!
