You need to have the following dependencies installed:
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:
- 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
- Debian/Ubuntu:
- Run
pnpm buildLibVesktop
- From now on, building Vesktop will use your own build
