# Lightcord
A simple - customizable - Discord Client
## What's this ?
2020-10-06 13:15:30 +02:00
[Lightcord ](https://lightcord.org ) is a simple and customizable client for Discord.
2020-07-29 18:29:36 +02:00
It includes [BandagedBD ](https://github.com/rauenzi/BetterDiscordApp ), [Glasstron ](https://github.com/AryToNeX/Glasstron ) and a [discord.js-like api ](https://github.com/Lightcord/Lightcord/tree/master/DiscordJS ).
2020-05-16 23:24:51 +02:00
## Informations
2020-07-29 18:29:36 +02:00
Lightcord doesn't *patch* Discord with it's content. If it was, Discord could 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

## Running from source

*You can find an experimental GNU/Linux tutorial in our Discord, or use the AUR*
2020-07-26 13:05:33 +02:00
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
2020-09-25 13:42:56 +02:00
## Other linux distribution
You can also install it via this one-liner command. It will automatically :
- Download the latest Lightcord stable release from the official dev server.
- Extract its file, and rename it to a more conventional ¨Lightcord¨ folder.
- Install the Lightcord files in /opt/.
- Add execution rights to the Lightcord executable to be able to launch it.
- Download an apropriate .desktop file and install it in /usr/share/applications.
- Add executions rights to the .desktop file to be able to launch Lightcord from it.
- Download the Lightcord icon in an .svg format, and will install it in /usr/share/pixmaps.
2020-10-15 17:44:03 +02:00
*The script needs to be run as root to install Lightcord*
*Please install the "unzip" package before executing this script as this script depends on it*
2020-10-15 17:49:23 +02:00
Run `wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GermanBread/UsefulTools/main/Lightcord_dev_installer.sh && sudo bash ./Lightcord_dev_installer.sh`
Then: `sudo bash Lightcord_dev_installer.sh`
To remove it: `rm Lightcord_dev_installer.sh`

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.
