Install discord (for the .tar.gz)

install-discord.bash

#!/usr/bin/env bash
cd ~/
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
wget "https://discordapp.com/api/download/canary?platform=linux&format=tar.gz" -O discord.tar.gz
tar -xvf discord.tar.gz -C ~/.local/bin
sudo ln -s ~/.local/bin/DiscordCanary/discord.png /usr/share/icons/discord.png
sudo ln -s ~/.local/bin/DiscordCanary/DiscordCanary /usr/bin
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/AdrianKoshka/a12ca0bfe2f334a9f208aff72f8738c3/raw/9d606ad7ce7cc1dd23f6a99993e2396540538a02/discord.desktop -O discord.desktop
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications/
mv ~/discord.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
sudo ln -s ~/.local/share/applications/discord.desktop /usr/share/applications/discord.desktop

I installed it this way in opt

bash script here

#!/bin/bash
cd ~/Downloads
# Replace discord-x.x.x.tar.gz with your Discord downloaded version
sudo tar -xvzf discord-x.x.x.tar.gz -C /opt
sudo ln -sf /opt/Discord/Discord /usr/bin/Discord
sudo nano /opt/Discord/discord.desktop
sudo cp -r /opt/Discord/discord.desktop /usr/share/applications

if anyone has any suggestions for improving the script, do not hesitate to comment.

Why the canary branch? Most people use the regular stable release

what is the command to run it?

make sure it has execution permissions first then cd into the directory where the .sh file is located through the terminal and then do sh ./script-name.sh and it will execute the script

I used that on that time by some reason I don't remember anymore.
