Hyprland can be executed by typing `Hyprland` in your tty.
Systemd users can also start Hyprland, using [uwsm](https://github.com/Vladimir-csp/uwsm). This is the recommended method of launching Hyprland on systemd-based distros, as it provides additional features such as [xdg-autostart](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd-xdg-autostart-generator.html) support, launching any application as a systemd-unit with `uwsm app` helper, and the ability to enable services for programs that rely on a graphical session and provide such services (e.g waybar). See [uwsm](../../Useful-Utilities/Systemd-start) page for further instructions.
If you are adventurous and on systemd, you can also try uwsm. Please note uwsm has some issues and for the majority of users, it's recommended to use Hyprland without it.
