You can find portable builds in the releases page. You can also build Dorion yourself!
[!NOTE] MacOS Users: If opening Dorion gives you "Dorion.app cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer", you may just need to run
sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Dorion.app. Alternatively, you can open the Privacy & Security settings pane and scroll down to the Security section to remove the quarantine.Windows Users: Defender may think Dorion is a virus. This just happens sometimes, and if SmartScreen blocks it from running, click "More Info" and "Run Anyways". Feel free to scan Dorion with Virustotal!

Plugins
Dorion comes with shelter, so that should cover at least some plugin-related needs. You can also enable client mods like Vencord inside the Dorion settings page. If you want to install plugins not available within the Dorion settings page, ensure you are downloading a browser-compatible version.
[!NOTE] Want official support for another client mod? As long as it works on the web, feel free to submit a feature request!
[!TIP] Unsure what shelter plugins exist out there? There's more than you think! Try searching
shelter pluginson GitHub, or use the Plugin Browser plugin:
https://spikehd.github.io/shelter-plugins/plugin-browser/
Themes
Dorion supports all themes, BetterDiscord and others, with a couple caveats.
