# Illegalcord

> Documentation for installing, building, configuring, and extending Illegalcord.

Illegalcord is a Discord client mod forked from Equicord and Vencord. You can install it with the official installer, or build it from source with the repository you have open: a TypeScript client mod with desktop injection, web builds, QuickCSS, plugin settings, and a large bundled plugin catalog.

## Start in three steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose installer or source">
    Use the [IllegalcordInstaller](https://github.com/ImHisako/IllegalcordInstaller) project for the installer flow, or clone [ImHisako/Illegalcord](https://github.com/ImHisako/Illegalcord) to build from source.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build the target you need">
    For source builds, use `pnpm build` for the desktop bundle or `pnpm buildWeb` for the browser extension output in `dist`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run Illegalcord">
    Use `pnpm inject` for Discord desktop, or load the generated web extension from `dist` in a supported browser.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Client mods may violate Discord's Terms of Service. Use Illegalcord at your own risk and review code before running builds from any fork.
