What is Nightly?

“Nightly” builds are builds of a program automatically generated by a computer at specific times

For Chatterino - all changes in between major releases are available on nightly (2.3.4 -> 2.3.5)

Nightly Versions

“Normal” Chatterino

The original version of nightly can be obtained here: https://github.com/Chatterino/chatterino2/releases/tag/nightly-build

7TV Chatterino

The 7TV version of nightly adds support for the 3rd party emote service 7TV - https://7tv.app

Due to the addition of 7TV to chatterino2 nightly, you only need to download chatterino7 if you’d like one of the following features:
```
  7TV Animated Profile Pictures
  7TV Paints (colorized names) 
  7TV Personal Emotes
```

It can be found here: https://github.com/SevenTV/chatterino7/releases/tag/nightly-build

Dankerino

While Dankerino does not have a specific third-party addition, like the prior 2 versions, it has many quality of life additions that may not have been accepted to the main version of Chatterino - More information can be found here.

Dankerino supports both Normal and 7TV by offering the ability to disable 7TV

It can be found here: https://github.com/Mm2PL/dankerino/releases/tag/nightly-build

How to Download

1. Choose the version of Chatterino you want (scroll up if you came here from the chromebook link)

2. Click to download the version for your operating system

3. Unzip the Chatterino2 folder to the place on your computer you want it

If you have previously installed a Chatterino stable build and want the .lnk shortcuts to still work, by default on Windows, the Chatterino install path is C:\Program Files\Chatterino
If you are unable to unzip the Chatterino2 folder, download 7zip or winrar

4. Open the folder and run Chatterino.exe

Congratulations - you are now using Chatterino Nightly

This exe is the one you will use now instead of your old one

Whispers

All versions of Chatterino Nightly after 2022-10-08 that are properly kept up-to-date, will have the capability to whisper despite your accountage.

You are able to whisper on these Chatterino Nightly versions if you have a verified phone number attached to your Twitch account.

How to Update Nightly

Unlike the installer version of Chatterino which offers in-client updates, nightly versions do not automatically update

If there is a new feature you want, you re-download it the same way you did before
