Discord Native Client on FreeBSD

 ·  🎃 kr0m

Discord is a very popular messaging system that allows both chatting and making calls/video calls. It is used by many groups of programmers and users to answer questions about configurations or functionalities. Although it is possible to access via the web, the client is much more comfortable than the web interface.

In the FreeBSD repositories, there is only one CLI client for Discord and a plugin for Bitlbee, so we will have to download the source code from a third party.

We install the dependencies:

pkg install electron19 node npm-node18

We clone the repository:

We install the software:

cd Discord-BSD
./install.sh

Finally, we run Discord:

discord
