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

• Run the discordo executable with no arguments.

• Log in using the account email and password (first-time login) and click on the "Login" button to continue.

  • If you are using a bot account to login, set the token command-line flag to the token of the bot and prefix it with Bot (eg: -token "Bot OTI2MDU5NTQxNDE2Nzc5ODA2.Yc2KKA.2iZ-5JxgxG-9Ub8GHzBSn-NJjNg").

  • By default, Discordo utilizes OS-specific keyring to store the authentication token. However, if you prefer not to use a keyring (not recommended), you may set the token command-line flag to the authentication token and Discordo will prioritize the usage of the provided token to login instead of keyring.

Configuration

A default configuration file is created on first start-up at $HOME/.config/discordo/config.toml on Unix, $HOME/Library/Application Support/discordo/config.toml on Darwin, and %AppData%/discordo/config.toml on Windows. You can configure the default configuration path using the config command-line flag.
