## Manual Installation
For normal users, installing via the installers makes the most sense. However when wanting to either develop BetterDiscord, or when the installers do not work, this option can be used.
### Prerequisites
- [Git](https://git-scm.com)
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) with `npm`.
- Command line of your choice.
### 1: Clone the repository
```ps
git clone https://github.com/BetterDiscord/BetterDiscord.git
```
### 2: Install dependencies
```ps
npm install
```
### 3: Run Build Script
This will create a `injector.js`, `preload.js`, and `renderer.js` in the `dist` folder.
```ps
npm run build
```
### 4: Inject into your Discord client
#### Install to Stable
```ps
npm run inject
```
#### Install to PTB
```ps
npm run inject ptb
```
#### Install to Canary
```ps
npm run inject canary
```
## Additional Scripts
### Compiling & Distribution
This will create a `betterdiscord.asar` file in the `dist` folder.
```ps
npm run dist
```

# FAQ
### What is this?
This is a client modification for Discord. It allows you to add plugins and themes to your client. Plugins can add functionality and useful features. Themes can completely change the look and feel of Discord.
BD has some other built-in features such as Emotes from Twitch, FFZ, and BBTV, as well as an in-client server browser.
### Where can I get plugins and themes?
The easiest way to find plugins and themes is to browse them on [our website: https://betterdiscord.app/](https://betterdiscord.app/). Additionally, in our [support servers](#support-servers) we have channels with lists of official plugins and themes.
### Support Servers?
There are two: [The main server][discord-link], and [the backup](https://discord.gg/XqSpb9e3dq).
