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).

Contributing

I will be grateful for any contribution and help given to improve the quality of the project :)

(especially about adapting the project to other platforms like linux, etc. :3)

macOS

There is redundant/repetitive code which is seen both in manual-installer-mac.py and auto-installer-mac.py.

That can be fixed. Just need to make sure to have 2 separate files to allow for auto, manual install, and auto/manual-mixed functionalities.

Fork

Well, just fork it

But please, don't forget to mention original project in your README
