Vencord+ Installer

The Vencord Installer allows you to install Vencord+, the best Discord Desktop client mod

Usage

Windows

Warning Do not run the installer as Admin

Download VencordInstaller.exe and run it

If the above doesn't work/open, for example because you're using Windows 7, 32 bit, or have a bad GPU, you can instead use our terminal based installer.

To do so, open Powershell, run the following command, then follow along with the instructions/prompts

iwr "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StupidityDB/VencordPlusInstaller/main/install.ps1" -UseBasicParsing | iex

Linux

Run the following command in your terminal and follow along with the instructions/prompts

sh -c "$(curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StupidityDB/VencordPlusInstaller/main/install.sh)"

MacOs

Download the latest MacOs build, unzip it, and run VencordInstaller.app

If you get a VencordInstaller can't be opened warning, right-click VencordInstaller.app and click open.

This warning shows because the app isn't signed since I'm not willing to pay 100 bucks a year for an Apple Developer license.
