Getting Started

Where to Start?

Welcome to the Equicord documentation! This guide will help you get started with installing and using Equicord and point you toward everything you need to start building your own plugins.

What is Equicord?

• Equicord is a Vencord fork that is actively maintained and updated by the Equicord team and contributors, with over 300+ plugins. You can find additional plugins on the plugin list page or in our GitHub repository under src/equicordplugins.

• Equibop is a standalone Discord client with Equicord pre-installed. No need to patch your existing Discord installation. It comes with various performance optimizations and additional features. Learn more about Equibop on its website.

• Equilotl is the installer that adds Equicord to your existing Discord client. Learn more in the Equilotl GitHub repository.

Equicord supports Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Note

If you’re just looking to install Equicord and aren’t planning on developing plugins, please visit our main site, or check the Installation page here. They cover everything you need to get started without building.
