I'm trying to make a auto updater script for crab game for Mac that fetches the game from itch.io and auto patches it and puts in the new .app file in the steamapps folder on Mac. Because they are really buggy and people on my YouTube tutorial are getting confused because they have to do all of these commands and complex stuff just to play a game that in theory should just be on steam and supported for Mac already.
However, is there a url I can just use wget with and then it gets the file from it? It's like that with literally every website but normally I just copy link on the download button on whatever and it gives me the url but it said javascript:void(0); so then I go to network in inspect element and get the url but the only thing I got was something that said like "crab-game-linux/random number I forgot/I forgot whatever" and when I pasted that into google chrome / safari url box. it just put me to the website of the itch.io game.
I don't want to use python or requests, etc which makes the person have to go out of their way to install home-brew, make me have to spend hours doing stuff like csrf-token and just hell. I want to use a single shell script only.
So my question is, is it possible for me to download a free itch.io game with wget or curl?
I made a fully-fledged YouTube tutorial for installing this game for M1 Chip and Intel Chip Macs.
Why the app doesn't launch?
- The reason the app does not launch is because the executable inside the .app file does not have execution permissions.
- The second reason is because the .app is made by an untrusted developer.
In this video there is all of the steps in this comment section combined. I also run this on latest macOS and M1 Mac mini so you don't have to worry about compatibility issues, also because it's running through rosetta so it works for intel too.
