Installation

Prebuilt binaries

You can download and install a prebuilt binary here for Windows, macOS, or Linux.

Package managers

• Arch Linux: yay -S discordo-git (thanks to Alyxia Sother for maintaining the AUR package).

Building from source

git clone https://github.com/ayntgl/discordo
cd discordo
make build

# optional
sudo mv ./discordo /usr/local/bin

Linux clipboard support

• xclip or xsel for X11.
  • Ubuntu: apt install xclip
  • Arch Linux: pacman -S xclip
  • Fedora: dnf install xclip
• wl-clipboard for Wayland.
  • Ubuntu: apt install wl-clipboard
  • Arch Linux: pacman -S wl-clipboard
  • Fedora: dnf install wl-clipboard

Usage

1. Run the discordo executable with no arguments.

2. Enter your client authentication token (first-time login) and click on the "Login" button to continue.

• If you are logging in with a bot account, prefix the token with Bot (eg: discordo --token "Bot OTI2MDU5NTQxNDE2Nzc5ODA2.Yc2KKA.2iZ-5JxgxG-9Ub8GHzBSn-NJjNg"). Furthermore, it is strongly recommended to change the user agent for HTTP requests from the configuration file if you are using a bot account to log in since the default user agent is that of a browser.

• Most of the Discord third-party clients store the token in a configuration file unencrypted. Discordo securely stores the token in the default OS-specific keyring.

Configuration

A default configuration file is created on first start-up at $HOME/.config/discordo/config.lua on Unix, $HOME/Library/Application Support/discordo/config.lua on Darwin, and %AppData%/discordo/config.lua on Windows. You can configure the default configuration directory path using the config command-line flag (eg: `discordo --config $HOME/my-custom-dir).
