betterdiscordctl: Install BetterDiscord on Discord Canary.
$ sudo betterdiscordctl --d-flavors canary install
try on your machine

This command is used to install BetterDiscord on the Canary version of the Discord application using the "sudo" command to gain administrative privileges. Let's break it down:

  • "sudo": The "sudo" command allows a user to execute a command with root or administrative privileges. It stands for "Super User Do" and is commonly used in Unix-like operating systems.
  • "betterdiscordctl": This is the command-line utility for managing BetterDiscord, which is a modification for the Discord application that allows for additional customization and features.
  • "--d-flavors canary": This flag specifies that the Canary version of Discord should be used. Discord has different development versions, like "stable," "PTB" (Public Test Build), and "canary." The Canary version represents the latest builds and updates, but it might be less stable than the other versions.
  • "install": This is the argument for the "betterdiscordctl" command, indicating that the installation process of BetterDiscord should be initiated on the Canary version of Discord.

So, when you run this command, you are running BetterDiscord's control utility with administrative privileges to install BetterDiscord on the Discord Canary version.
