This has a Linux install script and GreenMan36's improved version of the Windows install script.
On Linux and macOS, no updates have changed the path of Discord's files yet. However, there are a ton of paths that could have them, as Discord does not have official packages for every distro (variety) of Linux, and even the official packages might get installed to different places by package managers.
Macs fortunately support bash/zsh and should only be in one of two locations.
You can run the script with any shell that supports bash's [[ conditionals, including zsh.

Sometimes, Discord updates its host. This means you'll have to install OpenAsar again, for the new host version. However, the path to the Discord files changes with every host update, and OpenAsar's official installer hardcodes the path to a specific host version. This means that every time Discord updates its host, OpenAsar and you have to update their installer.
GreenMan36's improved version automatically detects the folder for the newest version and installs OpenAsar there.
