| # This script is responsible for managing the Discord application on a system. | |
| # It performs the following tasks: | |
| # 1. Checks if Discord is currently installed on the system. | |
| # 2. If Discord is not installed, the script downloads and installs the latest version. | |
| # 3. If Discord is already installed, the script checks for the latest version online. | |
| # 4. If a newer version of Discord is available, the script downloads and updates Discord to the latest version. | |
| # The script ensures that the user always has the most recent version of Discord installed. | |
