BetterDiscord is a client modification for Discord. This allows you to add plugins and themes to your personal copy of Discord. BetterDiscord also adds a number of other features out of the box.

# Installation

## Auto Installers

### Windows
Grab the `exe` file from [here](https://github.com/BetterDiscord/Installer/releases/latest/download/BetterDiscord-Windows.exe).

### macOS/OS X
Grab the `zip` file from [here](https://github.com/BetterDiscord/Installer/releases/latest/download/BetterDiscord-Mac.zip).

### Linux
Grab the `AppImage` file from [here](https://github.com/BetterDiscord/Installer/releases/latest/download/BetterDiscord-Linux.AppImage).


## 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/) 12.x+ and the package manager [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/).

1. Clone this repository `git clone https://github.com/BetterDiscord/BetterDiscord.git`
2. Install dependencies with `npm install`
3. Build both the Injector and Renderer bundles with `npm run build` this will create a `injector.js`, `preload.js`, and `renderer.js` in the `dist` folder.
4. Run the inject script to inject the local files into your Discord client (`npm run inject`). Alternately install it to non-stable using `npm run inject canary`.

# 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 <u>official</u> plugins and themes.

### Support Servers?
There are two: [The main server](https://discord.gg/bnSUxedypU), and [the backup](https://discord.gg/XqSpb9e3dq).
