Welcome to the Linux Discord Manager repository! This script is designed to simplify the process of installing and updating Discord on Linux systems (that don't update their package repos frequently like Manjaro). It ensures you always have the latest version of Discord with just one command.
- Automated Installation: Downloads and installs the latest version of Discord.
- Easy Updates: Quickly update Discord to the latest version using a single command.
- Symlink Creation: Creates a symlink to make running Discord from the terminal easy.
- Linux operating system
- Root privileges
- Discord not installed (or uninstalled)
To install the Discord Auto Script, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/PixelRidge-Softworks/Linux-Discord-Manager.git
cd discord-auto-update
- Make the script executable and run it:
chmod +x setup.sh
sudo ./global_installer.sh
Once installed, you can update Discord to the latest version easily. When Discord says there's an update, simply run:
sudo update-discord
This command will:
- Download the latest Discord tar.gz file.
- Extract it to the /opt/Discord directory.
- Create a symlink in /usr/local/bin for easy terminal access.
Then re-launch discord, and it will install its update!
NOTE: The update-discord
command will also install discord for you if it's not already installed. So if you don't have Discord yet, install it that way so we can manage it instead of your package manager!
