How To Install Discord on Manjaro

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Discord on Manjaro. Discord has become a popular communication platform for gamers and non-gamers alike. It offers a variety of features such as voice chat, text messaging, and media sharing, making it a versatile tool for online communication.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the Discord on a Manjaro Linux.

Prerequisites

• A server or desktop running one of the following operating systems: Manjaro, and other Arch-based distributions.
• It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
• SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
• A stable internet connection is crucial for downloading and installing packages. Verify your connection before proceeding.
• Access to a Manjaro Linux system with a non-root sudo user or root user.

Install Discord on Manjaro

Step 1. Before installing any new software, it’s crucial to ensure your system is up-to-date. This prevents conflicts when installing new applications, especially from the Arch User Repository (AUR). To update your Manjaro system, execute the following command in the terminal:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2. Install an AUR Helper.

An AUR helper can simplify the process of installing packages from the AUR. One popular AUR helper is yay. To install yay, first install the git and base-devel packages, which are necessary for downloading and building yay:

sudo pacman -S git base-devel

Then, clone the yay repository, change the ownership of the cloned directory, and build and install yay:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-git.git
cd yay-git
makepkg -si

Step 3. Installing Discord on Manjaro.

With yay installed, you can now install Discord. Use the following command to install Discord:

yay -S discord

Step 4. Accessing Discord on Manjaro Linux.

Once installed, you can launch Discord from the terminal by simply typing discord and hitting enter. Alternatively, you can find Discord in your application menu under the Internet or Communication category.

This command launches the Discord application, allowing you to log in and connect with your communities.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Discord. Thanks for using this tutorial to install the latest version of Discord on the Manjaro system. For additional help or useful information, we recommend you check the official Discord website.
