Debian discord update

Script to automate updating discord app on Debian based linux distros (i.e. Ubuntu, Mint).

I created this because everytime discord released new version, I had to manually download and install the update, which was pretty annoying...

Getting started

To use this script clone the repo and run setup.sh script - this will install the discord-update.sh in /usr/bin directory, making it easily executable from any part of the system.

git clone https://github.com/Ajver/debian-discord-update
cd debian-discord-update
bash setup.sh

You may be asked to provide a password, to modify the /usr/bin directory

Note that this makes a symbolic link to the discord-update.sh script in this repo, so if you move the cloned repo folder or remove it, the link becomes unusable!

Updating discord

After running setup.sh you can run discord-update from any part of the system.

discord-update

You may be asked to provide a password, to install the application using apt

Note, that if you skipped the setup stage, you can still update discord by running directly the discord-update.sh script from this repo:

bash ./discord-update.sh
