The more common Windows or Apple (Mac) operating systems often use a graphical interface for software installation. Linux-based computers oftentimes require the use of the command-line interface to fully install new software applications.<br><br>We will explore how to install Discord on Ubuntu, Fedora, and CentOS.\u00a0Please note that the steps in this article will require the use of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/server\/linux\/command-line-tutorials\/\">command-line interface<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ubuntu\">Installing Discord on Ubuntu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of installing Discord on Ubuntu is relatively straightforward in comparison to other operating systems. The Discord for Linux package is available in both tar.gz and .deb formats and can be downloaded directly from the <a href=\"https:\/\/discord.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Discord website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li>In your command line, use wget to download the package with the following command:<br><pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">wget -o discord.deb \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/discord.com\/api\/download?platform=linux&amp;format=deb\">https:\/\/discord.com\/api\/download?platform=linux&amp;format=deb<\/a>\u201d<\/pre><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, install the package using the following command:<br><pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo dpkg -i \/path\/to\/file\/<\/pre>The \/path\/to\/file\/ is the folder path to wherever the package was downloaded.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fedora\">Installing Discord on Fedora<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Discord application is packaged in the Canary Fedora repository. You can easily download and install it using the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.fedoraproject.org\/en-US\/quick-docs\/dnf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>DNF package manager<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li>In command line, use the following command to enable the Canary repository:<br><pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">dnf copr enable vishalv\/discord-canary<\/pre><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, use the following command to install the package:<br><pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">dnf install discord-canary<\/pre><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"centos\">Installing Discord on CentOS 7<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To install Discord on CentOS 7, you will first need to install the Snap package manager.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li>To install Snap, first ensure that you have enabled the EPEL repository using the following command in your command line:<br><pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo yum install epel-release<\/pre><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once that is done, you can install Snap using the following command:<br><pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo yum install snapd<\/pre><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, enable Snap using the following command:<br><pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket<\/pre><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With Snap installed, you can now install Discord using the following command:<br><pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo snap install discord<\/pre><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Install Discord on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/dedicated-servers\">Dedicated Server<\/a> to set up your own Discord community!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"install\"><strong>Installing Discord on Mobile<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li>Before beginning these steps, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/discord\/how-to-set-up-your-discord-account\/\">set up a Discord account<\/a> if you do not already have one.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visit the Google Play Store or App Store on iOS and search for <strong>Discord<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the page for the Discord app, press <strong>Download<\/strong> or <strong>Get<\/strong> to install the app.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the app is finished installing, open it and log in using your Discord account information.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations, you have successfully installed Discord on your mobile device!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"enable\"><strong>Enabling Two-Factor Authentication for Discord<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For an added layer of security, enabling <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/how-to-prevent-hacking-on-social-media\/\">two-factor authentication (2FA)<\/a><\/strong> is an easy way to keep unauthorized users from accessing your Discord account and associated communities. In order to use this feature, you will need to have an authentication app such as <strong>Google Authenticator<\/strong> or <strong>Authy<\/strong>. For the purposes of this guide we will use Google Authenticator.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li>To enable two-factor authentication, tap your Discord profile picture to open the <strong>User Settings<\/strong> menu.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the User Setting menu, select My Account to open the account management menu.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under the My Account menu, select the <strong>Enable Two-Factor Auth<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The next page will provide you with instructions on how to set up the authentication using the code displayed under the section labeled <strong>2FA Key (Manual Entry)<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you are using the Google Authenticator app, it will prompt you to input a code or scan a barcode. Select the option to <strong>input a code<\/strong> and input the 2FA Key provided by the Discord instructions.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After entering the 2FA Key, the Google Authenticator app should give you a 6-digit authentication code that you will then enter in the bottom section of the Discord 2FA menu. Once you\u2019ve entered the code, press <strong>Activate<\/strong> to enable 2FA using Google Authenticator.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"add\"><strong>Adding SMS Authentication<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to 2FA via Google Authenticator, you can add your mobile number to use it as another authentication method via SMS messaging services.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li>After enabling the 2FA functionality in Discord via the above steps, you should receive a prompt to Enable SMS Authentication. Select <strong>Add Phone Number<\/strong> to begin this process.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the next screen you will be prompted to enter your phone number.
