i use Debian Linux, and this distro's makers recommend not using installer scripts because

The make install script may make invalid assumptions about where the compiled binary and its associated files should exist in the filesystem and under what set of permissions / ownership it should run. Software installed this way could also replace important software vital to system and package maintenance, making it difficult to repair your system using standard Debian tools.

this makes me afraid of using the itch-setup program because i don't know beforehand if Itch will be installed in the correct location.

please make sure that the itch-setup program installs Itch at $HOME/.local/bin/ instead of /bin/ and document this
