You can use DiscordChatExporter with CLI and Mono. It isn't that user friendly, but it works.
---
**Installing Mono**
To get mono on Ubuntu/Debian ([other distros and more info here](https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/#download-lin-ubuntu)):
Open Terminal and type
1. `sudo apt-get install mono-devel`
You can check if mono was installed successfully using `mono -V`, it should output its version. If it didn't work, try the link above for more info.
---
**Downloading and using DiscordChatExporter**
1. Download the latest DiscordChatExporter CLI release [here](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/releases/latest) and extract its contents on your Desktop to a folder called `DiscordChatExporter`.
2. Open terminal and type to change Terminal directory:
`cd ~/Desktop/DiscordChatExporter`
3. Replace `TOKEN` and `CHANNEL`, and execute the command to run DiscordChatExporter.Cli.exe:
`mono DiscordChatExporter.Cli.exe -t TOKEN -c CHANNEL`
---
It's also possible to run the CLI on macOS, but installing mono is a little bit different, since you'd be using brew or macports instead of apt.
The GUI version doesn't work on non-Windows OS.
