+
+# Pywal for dynamic colors (optional but recommended)
+sudo pacman -S python-pywal
+
+# Install rust/cargo if you don't have it (needed for Caelestia)
+sudo pacman -S rust
 ```
 
-### Installation
+### Step 2: Install Optional Applications
+
 ```bash
-# Backup existing config
+# Applications referenced in config (adjust to your preference)
-mv ~/.config/hypr ~/.config/hypr.backup
+sudo pacman -S telegram-desktop spotify code
 
-# Create directory (if do not have already) and copy config
+# AUR packages (requires yay or another AUR helper)
+yay -S google-chrome zen-browser-bin  # or your preferred browser
+```
+
+### Step 3: Install Caelestia Shell (Optional)
+
+Caelestia is a modern shell with AI features that integrates with the pywal theming system.
+
+```bash
+# Install Caelestia via cargo
+cargo install caelestia
+
+# Start Caelestia daemon (it will auto-restart when pywal colors change)
+caelestia shell -d &
+```
+
+**Note:** Caelestia runs as a background service and integrates with pywal for dynamic color theming.
+
+### Step 4: Clone This Repository
+
+```bash
+# Clone to a temporary location
+cd ~/Downloads
+git clone https://github.com/yourusername/hyprduma-config.git
+cd hyprduma-config
+```
+
+### Step 5: Backup Existing Configs (If Any)
+
+```bash
+# Backup existing Hyprland config
+[ -d ~/.config/hypr ] && mv ~/.config/hypr ~/.config/hypr.backup
+
+# Backup existing waybar config
+[ -d ~/.config/waybar ] && mv ~/.config/waybar ~/.config/waybar.backup
+
+# Backup existing wlogout config
+[ -d ~/.config/wlogout ] && mv ~/.config/wlogout ~/.config/wlogout.backup
+```
+
+### Step 6: Install Hyprland Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Create Hypr config directory
 mkdir -p ~/.config/hypr
-cp hyprland.conf ~/.config/hypr/
 
-# Adjust your apps (lines 26-32) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
+# Copy main config
+cp hyprland.conf ~/.config/hypr/
+cp hyprland-colors.conf ~/.config/hypr/
+
+# Copy wallpapers (optional, for use with waypaper)
+mkdir -p ~/.config/hypr/wallpapers
+cp wallpapers/* ~/.config/hypr/wallpapers/
+
+# Create screenshots directory (used by config)
+mkdir -p ~/Pictures/Screenshots
+```
+
+### Step 7: Configure Your Applications
+
+**IMPORTANT:** Edit the config file to set your preferred applications.
+
+```bash
+# Open the config file
 nvim ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf
 
-# Reload or restart Hyprland
+# Find lines 27-34 and adjust these variables:
+# $terminal = kitty              # Your terminal
+# $fileManager = dolphin         # Your file manager
+# $menu = wofi --show drun       # Your app launcher
+# $telegram = Telegram           # Path to Telegram
+# $spotify = spotify             # Path to Spotify
+# $vscode = code                 # Path to VSCode
+# $browser = your-browser        # Your browser command
 ```
+
+### Step 8: Install Pywal Integration (Optional but Recommended)
+
+Pywal provides dynamic color theming based on your wallpaper.
+
+```bash
+# Install pywal templates
+mkdir -p ~/.config/wal/templates
+cp -r wal/templates/* ~/.config/wal/templates/
+
+# Copy the color application and wallpaper sync scripts
+cp apply-pywal-colors.sh ~/.config/hypr/
+cp sync-caelestia-wallpaper.sh ~/.config/hypr/
+chmod +x ~/.config/hypr/apply-pywal-colors.sh
+chmod +x ~/.config/hypr/sync-caelestia-wallpaper.sh
+
+# Test pywal with a wallpaper
+wal -i /path/to/your/wallpaper.png
+
+# Apply colors to Hyprland and Caelestia
+~/.config/hypr/apply-pywal-colors.sh
+```
+
+**What this does:**
+- Generates a color scheme from your wallpaper
+- Applies colors to Hyprland window borders
+- Applies colors to Caelestia shell (if installed)
+- Restarts necessary services to apply changes
+
+### Step 9: Install Waybar Config (If You Have It)
+
+```bash
+# If you have waybar configs in this repo
+mkdir -p ~/.config/waybar
+cp -r waybar/* ~/.config/waybar/
+```
+
+### Step 10: Install Wlogout Config (If You Have It)
+
+```bash
+# If you have wlogout configs in this repo
+mkdir -p ~/.config/wlogout
+cp -r wlogout/* ~/.config/wlogout/
+```
+
+### Step 11: Start Hyprland
+
+```bash
+# If you're in a TTY, start Hyprland
+Hyprland
+
+# If already in Hyprland, reload the config
+# Press SUPER + SHIFT + R (or restart Hyprland session)
+```
+
+### Step 12: Set Up Autostart for Caelestia (Optional)
+
+If you want Caelestia to start automatically with Hyprland:
+
+```bash
+# Edit your Hyprland config
+nvim ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf
+
+# Add this line in the Autostart section (around line 21-25):
+# exec-once = caelestia shell -d
+```
+
+---
+
+## Post-Installation
+
+### Setting Wallpaper with Pywal
+
+```bash
+# Generate colors and apply them
+wal -i /path/to/wallpaper.png && ~/.config/hypr/apply-pywal-colors.sh
+
+# Or use the wallpapers included in this repo
+wal -i ~/.config/hypr/wallpapers/sakura.jpg && ~/.config/hypr/apply-pywal-colors.sh
+```
+
+**Note about waypaper and Caelestia:**
+- This config uses **swaybg** as the wallpaper backend (not hyprpaper)
+- Use `waypaper` GUI (Super+W) to select wallpapers
+- Waypaper with swaybg backend automatically saves and restores your wallpaper on login
+- **Important**: Caelestia shell has its own wallpaper management that may conflict with waypaper
+- The config includes `sync-caelestia-wallpaper.sh` to automatically sync Caelestia's wallpaper reference with swaybg
+- This sync happens automatically on startup and when you open waypaper (Super+W)
+- For pywal integration, use `wal -i` as shown above, then run the apply script (which also syncs Caelestia)
+
+### Monitor Configuration
+
+If you have different monitors, adjust lines 4-18 in `~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf`:
+
+```bash
+nvim ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf
+
+# Edit monitor configuration:
+# monitor = eDP-1, 1920x1080@144, 1920x0, 1
+# monitor = HDMI-A-1, 1920x1080@144, 0x0, 1, transform, 2
+```
+
+### Keyboard Layout
+
+Default is US/RU with ALT+SHIFT toggle. To change, edit `~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf` line 42:
+
+```
+kb_layout = us, ru  # Change to your layouts
+```

+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Hyprland won't start
+- Check if all required packages are installed
+- Review error logs: `journalctl -b | grep hyprland`
+
+### Applications don't launch
+- Make sure you edited the app variables in `hyprland.conf` (lines 27-34)
+- Check if the applications are actually installed
+
+### Pywal colors not applying
+- Ensure the script is executable: `chmod +x ~/.config/hypr/apply-pywal-colors.sh`
+- Check if pywal cache exists: `ls ~/.cache/wal/`
+- Manually reload: `~/.config/hypr/apply-pywal-colors.sh`
+
+### Caelestia colors not updating
+```bash
+# Restart Caelestia daemon
+pkill caelestia && sleep 0.5 && caelestia shell -d &
+```
+
+### Wallpaper not showing on startup
+```bash
+# Restore wallpaper with waypaper
+waypaper restore
+
+# Manually restart swaybg if needed
+pkill swaybg && swaybg &
+```
