# OpenAsar
|
2021-12-09 11:53:03 +00:00
|
|
|
**Open-source alternative of Discord desktop's `app.asar`**
|
2021-12-09 11:25:01 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Goals
|
|
|
|
|
- **Hotpluggable** - just swap the asar file, nothing else needed
|
|
|
|
|
- **Lightweight** - it should be at least as fast or lightweight, hopefully more
|

|
|
|
- **No Tracking** - no crash reporting, error tracking, etc
|
2021-12-09 11:50:16 +00:00
|
|
|
- **Minimal** - generally only doing what is needed (see: implementation)

## Install Guide
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
2. NPM install in `src` dir (`cd src; npm i`)
|
|
|
|
|
3. Pack into `app.asar` via `asar` NPM package - `asar pack src app.asar`
|
|
|
|
|
4. Backup your original `app.asar` (rename to `app.asar.backup` / etc)
|
|
|
|
|
5. Install OpenAsar `app.asar` into the original path
