How do I upgrade Discord?

slakk · 12-31-2021, 08:41 AM

Hello everyone, I just installed Discord from Slackbuild and everything went fine, but as soon as I start it, it asks me to update it and gives me a source file

Code:

discord-0.0.16.tar.gz

and I don't know what to do with it.

Sorry for the basic question.

Thanks, it worked!

FWIW, if you want to wait for an updated slackbuild to catch up with the newest version instead of manually updating, you can also just edit the version number in

Code:

/usr/share/discord/resources/build_info.json:

{
    "releaseChannel": "stable",
    "version": "0.0.16"
 }

and it will start fine.
