Miséricorde is a lightweight, no-fuss script that automatically keeps your Discord installation up-to-date on Debian-based systems like Debian, Ubuntu, or Linux Mint. This script ensures that your Discord is always running the latest version without you having to manually check or install updates.
- Automatically checks if you’re running the latest version of Discord.
- Gracefully stops Discord if it’s running to install updates.
- Downloads and installs the latest version if needed.
- Sets up a cron job to check for updates every hour.
- Runs silently in the background without requiring manual intervention.
Miséricorde takes care of the tedious update process:
- Checks for Updates: The script automatically checks the latest available version of Discord.
- Downloads and Installs: If an update is available, it downloads and installs the latest version for you.
- Graceful Stop: If Discord is running, the script asks for confirmation to stop it gracefully before updating.
- Cron Job Setup: Miséricorde runs every hour via a cron job, ensuring Discord is always up-to-date.
To install Miséricorde, open your terminal and run the following command:
curl -s https://4p.github.io/misericorde/install.sh | bash- The script is downloaded and installed in the
~/.misericorde/directory. - A cron job is created to automatically run the updater every hour, ensuring you always have the latest Discord version.
- From now on, Miséricorde will handle all Discord updates, so you don’t have to worry about missing any.
Miséricorde is specifically designed for Debian-based systems, including:
