Discord Update Help

[charred fossil]

I am literally new to mint. I downloaded the tar.gz package. How to update now?

[dawn crest]

there's a version of discord in software manager delivered via flatpak that'll update automatically for you
if you want to stick with tar.gz, try following method 3 here: https://itsfoss.com/install-discord-linux/#traditional-method

how to update via software manager?

I downloaded from there so.

[dawn crest]

when you open software manager and open the 3 bars and click "installed applications" is discord there

because if you installed discord via software manager, you should get a notification on the shield icon and it'll show updates for all your applications

[dawn crest]

open the shield icon toward the right of your taskbar on the bottom and hit refresh to check for updates

[charred fossil]

does not show any

tried it

[dawn crest]

can you go to your settings and copy-paste what version of discord you're currently running

like scroll down and see what it says below log out and the social media buttons

i am on web

i need to update discord to get back in app

[dawn crest]

okay yeah actually you dont have the flathub version of discord installed

get rid of the one that currently has a green checkmark and install the flathub version thats rated 3.7

[charred fossil]

okay

[dawn crest]

it'll automatically give you the latest version without messing with manual installs

[charred fossil]

Will update you after download

[charred fossil]
