How to install Discord on CentOS 8

  • Download .tar.gz
  • Extract and copy the Discord folder inside the i.e. discord-0.0.13 folder to /usr/share/discord, PRESERVING permission modes (maybe chown to root tho).
  • Copy discord.desktop to /usr/share/applications
  • Copy discord.png to /usr/share/pixmaps
  • Install dependencies: sudo dnf install libXScrnSaver libatomic
  • Run Discord from your application menu
    • If nothing happens (which'll happen if libXScrnSaver is missing), try running /usr/share/discord/Discord in a terminal to see what's going on.
  • If Discord still says it's installation is corrupt (which it does if libatomic is missing), open the web console (ctrl shift I) to see any errors of missing libraries, then use dnf whatprovides to find the package you need to install. Then relaunch Discord.
