On Windows, you probably need to move the butler program to standard location (for me, I created the folder C:\Program Files\butler\ and moved the program to that folder), and then place that folder in your PATH (instructions here: https://www.architectryan.com/2018/03/17/add-to-the-path-on-windows-10/ and these instructions should work for both Windows 10 and 11).
After doing this, restart the command prompt, and butler should be a recognized command.
For mac, I simply copied it to a standard location with the following terminal command: sudo cp butler /usr/local/bin/
It will ask for your mac password, enter it and restart the terminal. After that, you should be able to invoke butler from anywhere on your mac through the terminal.
Butler is a really good tool, so I wonder why there isn't a push to encourage developers to upload using this? And similarly to encourage players to download games using the itch.io app. This way, developers don't have to upload the whole build of a game when they release an update, and players don't have to re-download the whole game every time there is an update.
The system is so good, but a lot of people are not using it! Lol. It would be very nice if it became like Steam, where everyone understood that you download the client to get updates. But I realize that itch.io is not Steam. I am not here to critique. I just wanted to give some praise to butler.
