# Installation Guide
Welcome to Megu's Installation Guide! In this file, you will learn about how to download, install, and uninstall Vencord!
## Sections

- [Updating Vencord](#updating-vencord)

- [Manually Uninstalling Vencord](#manually-uninstalling-vencord)
## Dependencies
- Install Git from https://git-scm.com/download
- Install Node.JS LTS from here: https://nodejs.dev/en/
## Installing Vencord
> :exclamation: If this doesn't work, see [Manually Installing Vencord](#manually-installing-vencord)
Install `pnpm`:
> :exclamation: This next command may need to be run as admin/sudo depending on your system, and you may need to close and reopen your terminal for pnpm to be in your PATH.
```shell
npm i -g pnpm
```
> :exclamation: **IMPORTANT** Make sure you aren't using an admin/root terminal from here onwards. It **will** mess up your Discord/Vencord instance and you **will** most likely have to reinstall.
Clone Vencord:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord
cd Vencord
```
Install dependencies:
```shell
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
```
Build Vencord:
```shell
pnpm build
```
Inject vencord into your client:
```shell
pnpm inject
```
Then fully close Discord from your taskbar or task manager, and restart it. Vencord should be injected - you can check this by looking for the Vencord section in Discord settings.
## Updating Vencord
If you're using Discord already, go into the `Updater` tab in settings.
Sometimes it may be neccessary to manually update if the GUI updater fails.
To pull latest changes:
```shell
git pull
```
If this fails, you likely need to reset your local changes to vencord to resolve merge errors:
> :exclamation: This command will remove any local changes you've made to vencord. Make sure you back up if you made any code changes you don't want to lose!
```shell
git reset --hard
git pull
```
and then to build the changes:
```shell
pnpm build
```
Then just refresh your client
## Uninstalling Vencord
Simply run:
```shell
pnpm uninject
```
The above command may ask you to also run:
```shell
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm uninject
```
## Manually Installing Vencord
- [Windows](#on-windows)
- [Linux](#on-linux)
- [MacOS](#on-macos)
### On Windows
Press Win+R and enter: `%LocalAppData%` and hit enter. In this page, find the page (Discord, DiscordPTB, DiscordCanary, etc) that you want to patch.
Now follow the instructions at [Manual Patching](#manual-patching)
### On Linux
The Discord folder is usually in one of the following paths:
- /usr/share
- /usr/lib64
- /opt
- /home/$USER/.local/share
If you use flatpak, it will usually be in one of the following paths:
- /var/lib/flatpak/app/com.discordapp.Discord/current/active/files
- /home/$USER/.local/share/flatpak/app/com.discordapp.Discord/current/active/files
You will need to give flatpak access to vencord with one of the following commands:
> :exclamation: If not on stable, replace `com.discordapp.Discord` with your branch name, e.g., `com.discordapp.DiscordCanary`
> :exclamation: Replace `/path/to/vencord/` with the path to your vencord folder (NOT the dist folder)
If Discord flatpak install is in /home/:
```shell
flatpak override --user com.discordapp.Discord --filesystem="/path/to/vencord/"
```
If Discord flatpak install not in /home/:
```shell
sudo flatpak override com.discordapp.Discord --filesystem="/path/to/vencord"
```
Now follow the instructions at [Manual Patching](#manual-patching)
### On MacOS
Open finder and go to your Applications folder. Right-Click on the Discord application you want to patch, and view contents.
Go to the `Contents/Resources` folder.
Now follow the instructions at [Manual Patching](#manual-patching)
### Manual Patching
> :exclamation: If using Flatpak on linux, go to the folder that contains the `app.asar` file, and skip to where we create the `app` folder below.
> :exclamation: On Linux/MacOS, there's a chance there won't be an `app-<number>` folder, but there probably is a `resources` folder, so keep reading :)
Inside there, look for the `app-<number>` folders. If you have multiple, use the highest number. If that doesn't work, do it for the rest of the `app-<number>` folders.
Inside there, go to the `resources` folder. There should be a file called `app.asar`. If there isn't, look at a different `app-<number>` folder instead.
Make a new folder in `resources` called `app`. In here, we will make two files:
`package.json` and `index.js`
In `index.js`:
> :exclamation: Replace the path in the first line with the path to `patcher.js` in your vencord dist folder.
> On Windows, you can get this by shift-rightclicking the patcher.js file and selecting "copy as path"
```js
require("C:/Users/<your user>/path/to/vencord/dist/patcher.js");
```
And in `package.json`:
```json
{ "name": "discord", "main": "index.js" }
```
Finally, fully close & reopen your Discord client and check to see that `Vencord` appears in settings!
### Manually Uninstalling Vencord
> :exclamation: Do not delete `app.asar` - Only delete the `app` folder we created.
Use the instructions above to find the `app` folder, and delete it. Then Close & Reopen Discord.
If you need more help, ask in the support channel in our [Discord Server](https://discord.gg/D9uwnFnqmd).
