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).
• FreeBSD: pkg install discordo or via the ports system make -C /usr/ports/net-im/discordo install clean.

Building from source

git clone https://github.com/ayn2op/discordo
cd discordo
go build .

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

Linux clipboard support

• xclip or xsel for X11 (apt install xclip)
• wl-clipboard for Wayland (apt install wl-clipboard)

Usage

1. Run the discordo executable with no arguments.

• If you are logging in using an authentication token, provide the token command-line flag to the executable (eg: --token "OTI2MDU5NTQxNDE2Nzc5ODA2.Yc2KKA.2iZ-5JxgxG-9Ub8GHzBSn-NJjNg"). The token is stored securely in the default OS-specific keyring.

2. Enter your email and password and click on the "Login" button to continue.

• 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.yml on Unix, $HOME/Library/Application Support/discordo/config.yml on Darwin, and %AppData%/discordo/config.yml on Windows.

Similarly, a log file is created on first start-up at $HOME/.cache/discordo/logs.txt on Unix, $HOME/Library/Caches/discordo/logs.txt on Darwin, and %LocalAppData%/discordo/logs.txt on Windows.
