## Building
Packaging will create builds in the dist/ folder. You can then install them like mentioned above or distribute them
```sh
2023-07-13 17:03:13 +00:00
git clone https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop
cd Vesktop
2023-04-04 01:35:31 +00:00
# Install Dependencies
pnpm i
# Either run it without packaging
pnpm start
# Or package
pnpm package
2023-04-08 22:49:47 +00:00
# Or only build the pacman target
pnpm package --linux pacman
2023-04-04 01:35:31 +00:00
# Or package to a directory only
pnpm package:dir
```

## Motivation
The official Discord Desktop app is very resource heavy compared to Discord in your Browser. There are multiple alternative Electron apps (ArmCord, WebCord, probably more) that prove how much of a performance gain you can gain by using a custom app. ArmCord already supports Vencord but makes it pretty limited for us. Making our own standalone app gives us much more control.
