> No support will be provided for installing in this fashion. If you cannot figure it out, you should just stick to a regular install.

> :exclamation: **IMPORTANT** Make sure you aren't using an admin/root terminal from here onwards. It **will** mess up your Discord/Vencord instance and you **will** most likely have to reinstall.
Then fully close Discord from your taskbar or task manager, and restart it. Vencord should be injected - you can check this by looking for the Vencord section in Discord settings.
## Updating Vencord
If you're using Discord already, go into the `Updater` tab in settings.
Sometimes it may be neccessary to manually update if the GUI updater fails.
To pull latest changes:
```shell
git pull
```
If this fails, you likely need to reset your local changes to vencord to resolve merge errors:
> :exclamation: This command will remove any local changes you've made to vencord. Make sure you back up if you made any code changes you don't want to lose!
```shell
git reset --hard
git pull
```
and then to build the changes:
```shell
pnpm build
```
Then just refresh your client
## Uninstalling Vencord
Simply run:
```shell
pnpm uninject
```
