🛠️ Advanced Usage

Available Command Line Flags

• --local <path>: Use a local moonlight instance

• --help: Display help message

Passing Arguments to Discord

Any arguments after -- will be passed directly to Discord:

Using a different branch of moonlight

If you're using moonlight-stable, the launcher will default to using the latest stable release of moonlight. If you're using moonlight-ptb or moonlight-canary, it will default to using the latest nightly build. You can change this behaviour by using the --branch flag:

moonlight-stable --branch nightly
# or
moonlight-canary --branch stable

Using a Local Git Instance

To use a local development version of moonlight:

moonlight-stable --local /path/to/your/moonlight/injector.js
