I managed to figure out how to install Discord in F25, and also was able to get the BetterDiscord installer up and running;
Not really sure if it matters, I went with the MATE-Compiz spin, since it's the closest to Ubuntu MATE I can get with Fedora in my desired configuration.
Some things are different because of how I went about this. None of the paths really matter; use your own for betterDiscord itself, but BetterDiscord's requirement of /var/local/BetterDiscord remains hard and fast. Here's the rundown of what I did on F25;
- I used Sim0nizer's Discord installer (ran via commandline)
- I used its default path of
/opt/Discord(this can differ based on your configuration) - I installed BetterDiscord itself to
/opt/Discord/BetterDiscord(this too can differ) - I still had to go to that directory's
libsubdirectoty to renameUtils.jsso it is lowercase -
/var/local/BetterDiscord/bdstorage.jsondidn't need to be renamed. (This must had been fixed after-the-fact.) I lied. Sorry.
I was able to install npm and git, Do all the Git stuff, do all the NPM stuff, and make the installer usable.
One more quick edit to drive the point home it works on F25;
