### Stability
hy3 has a tagged release for each hyprland update, and master tracks hyprland's main branch.
If you are running a release version of hyprland then use the matching tagged hy3 version.
If you are running an untagged hyprland release then use the `master` branch of hy3.
Commits are tested before pushing and will build against the hyprland release **in the flake.lock file**.
There may be a mismatch with hyprland's main branch. If hy3 fails to build against hyprland's main branch
please make an issue or ping me in the [hy3 matrix room](https://matrix.to/#/#hy3-support:outfoxxed.me).
Tagged hy3 versions are always checked against the corresponding hyprland tag.
If you encounter any bugs, please report them in the issue tracker.
When reporting bugs, please include:
- Commit hash of the version you are running.
- Steps to reproduce the bug (if you can figure them out)
- backtrace of the crash (if applicable)
If you are too lazy to use the issue tracker, please at least ping `@outfoxxed:outfoxxed.me`
in the [matrix room](https://matrix.to/#/#hy3-support:outfoxxed.me) with your bug information.

### hyprpm
Hyprland now has a dedicated plugin manager, which should be used when your package manager
isn't capable of locking hy3 builds to the correct hyprland version.

To install hy3 via hyprpm run
```sh
hyprpm add https://github.com/outfoxxed/hy3
```
To update hy3 (and all other plugins), run
```sh
hyprpm update
```

Assuming you use hyprland's home manager module, you can easily integrate hy3 by adding it to the plugins array.

### Arch (AUR)
> [!NOTE]
> This method of installation is deprecated and you should use *hyprpm* instead,

> [!CAUTION]
> Pacman is not very reliable when it comes to building packages in the correct order.
> If you get a notification saying *hy3 was compiled for a different version of hyprland*

> To fix this, remove `/usr/include/hyprland`, `/usr/local/include/hyprland`, `/usr/share/pkgconfig/hyprland.pc` and `/usr/local/share/pkgconfig/hyprland.pc`,

hy3 stable (for arch's `hyprland` package) is availible on the AUR as [hy3](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hy3).
hy3-git (for `hyprland-git` on the AUR, unofficial package) is availible on the AUR as [hy3-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hy3-git).
Both packages install hy3 as `/usr/lib/libhy3.so`.
You can enable it in your hyprland configuration by adding the following line anywhere in your `hyprland.conf`
```conf
plugin = /usr/lib/libhy3.so
```
