## Installation
### Prebuilt binaries
You can download and install a [prebuilt binary here](https://nightly.link/ayntgl/discordo/workflows/ci/main) for Windows, macOS, or Linux.
### Package managers
- [Arch Linux](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/discordo-git/): `yay -S discordo-git` (thanks to [Alyxia Sother](https://github.com/lexisother) for maintaining the AUR package).
### Building from source
```bash
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 to log in using email and password. If you are using a token to log in, set the `token` flag to the token that you want to log in with.
- Note: 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.
2. If you are logging in with your email and password, enter your email and password (first-time login) and click on the "Login" button to continue.
- Note: Your email and password are not stored locally. 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).
