BetterDiscordAutoInstaller
About
BetterDiscordAutoInstaller is a script that do the same work as official BetterDiscord installer on
applying mod on Discord (PTB, Canary too). It automatically downloads betterdiscord.asar file from the
official BetterDiscord GitHub repo and makes it load. If you have more than one discord
(PTB or/and Canary) installed, BDAI will also patch them. But you need to specify paths to them in
settings.json.
Supported OS
Currently, BetterDiscordAutoInstaller is supported for Windows and macOS OSes.
BetterDiscord CI
It is also possible to use BetterDiscord CI Releases.
You need to get a GitHub Access Token
with access to the public repos and change the use_betterdiscord_ci_releases option to true in
the settings.json file. If you have not entered a token before, BDAI will show the prompt for you.
Autostart
BDAI also allows you to add/remove it from autostart, without having to run it manually every time. For macOS, the user can also choose to bind script to a keyboard shortcut to manually update.
Self update checks
BDAI will check if it is up to date. You can disable autoupdate by changing the disable_bdai_autoupdate
setting to true in the settings.json file (but you will still receive a message that a new version
has been released).
