Visit https://vesktop.dev/install

You need to have the following dependencies installed:

• Git
• Node.js
• pnpm: npm install --global pnpm

Packaging will create builds in the dist/ folder

git clone https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop
cd Vesktop

# Install Dependencies
pnpm i

# Either run it without packaging
pnpm start

# Or package (will build packages for your OS)
pnpm package

# Or only build the Linux Pacman package
pnpm package --linux pacman

# Or package to a directory only
pnpm package:dir

This is a small C++ helper library Vesktop uses on Linux to emit D-Bus events. By default, prebuilt binaries for x64 and arm64 are used.

If you want to build it from source:

1. Install build dependencies:
   • Debian/Ubuntu: apt install build-essential python3 curl pkg-config libglib2.0-dev
   • Fedora: dnf install @c-development @development-tools python3 curl pkgconf-pkg-config glib2-devel
2. Run pnpm buildLibVesktop
3. From now on, building Vesktop will use your own build
