+
+An AUR package and flatpak are planned, if you want packages for other repos, feel free to create them and they can be linked as unofficial here
+
+## Building
+
+Packaging will create builds in the dist/ folder. You can then install them like mentioned above or distribute them
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/Vencord/Desktop
+cd Desktop
+
+# Install Dependencies
+pnpm i
+
+# Either run it without packaging
+pnpm start
+
+# Or package
+pnpm package
+# Or package to a directory only
+pnpm package:dir
+```
