# Lightcord
A simple - customizable - Discord Client
## What's this ?
2020-07-08 13:55:39 +02:00
[Lightcord ](https://lightcord.github.io ) is a simple and customizable client for Discord.
2020-07-10 17:58:10 +02:00
It includes [BandagedBD ](https://github.com/rauenzi/BetterDiscordApp ), [Glasstron ](https://github.com/AryToNeX/Glasstron ) and a discord.js like api.
2020-05-16 23:24:51 +02:00
## Informations
2020-06-10 23:20:55 +02:00
Lightcord doesn't *patch* Discord with it's content. If it was, Discord would update itself and break the patch. That's why Lightcord is a standalone Discord client. Just grab the latest release version you need, and launch it !
2020-05-16 23:24:51 +02:00
2020-06-10 23:19:54 +02:00
## Installing
You can download a release from the [releases tab ](https://github.com/Lightcord/Lightcord/releases ).
2020-05-16 23:24:51 +02:00
2020-06-10 23:19:54 +02:00
If you want to run it from source, follow these instructions:
2020-05-16 23:24:51 +02:00
```sh
2020-06-10 23:19:54 +02:00
git clone https://github.com/Lightcord/Lightcord
2020-05-16 23:24:51 +02:00
cd Lightcord
npm i
2020-06-10 23:19:54 +02:00
npm run devInstall
2020-05-16 23:24:51 +02:00
npm run test
```
2020-06-13 18:36:08 +02:00
*You will have to do that everytime you pull/clone*
2020-06-13 18:40:00 +02:00
< br / >
2020-05-16 23:24:51 +02:00
Discord will launch next. You can see you have done it right by looking at the icon.
2020-06-13 18:36:08 +02:00
2020-06-13 18:40:00 +02:00
< br / >
2020-06-10 23:19:54 +02:00
Then everytime you want to launch it just type in
```sh
npm run run
```
2020-07-26 13:05:33 +02:00
*You can find an experimental linux tutorial in our Discord, or use the AUR*
2020-07-26 13:06:05 +02:00
## AUR (unofficial)
2020-07-26 13:05:33 +02:00
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lightcord-bin/
If you don't know how to install from the AUR, you can follow [this ](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_and_upgrading_packages ) tutorial, but I would recommend using an AUR helper such as ``yay``.
2020-06-10 23:19:54 +02:00

2020-05-16 23:24:51 +02:00
## BetterDiscord
BetterDiscord (BandagedBD) is already installed (modified version).
2020-06-10 23:19:54 +02:00
You can go into your settings to manage plugins.
2020-05-16 23:24:51 +02:00
2020-06-10 23:19:54 +02:00
Because it's more painful than anything else, global emotes are not supported on Lightcord. They have been removed.
The freeze caused by the emotes downloading at startup was annoying. So we removed them.
2020-05-16 23:24:51 +02:00
## Plugins & Themes
Plugins and themes are not in the standard BetterDiscord folder. They have been moved because betterdiscord supports only stable, ptb and canary release. Using the same directory could cause problems with settings.
2020-06-10 16:16:33 +02:00
They are located in `%AppData%/Lightcord_BD` . This is the main folder for BetterDiscord.
