itch app on pi os supported? install error and need help

So I thought I would get some nice games for my seven year old son...  I have been trying to install the itch app for three hours and can't get any further.  Is the itch app supported by Raspberry Pi OS?  I would think so because it is supported on Debian?

At this point if I am here:

andrew@AndrewPi:/tmp/itch $ sudo ./itch-setup  
./itch-setup: 1: ELF: not found  
./itch-setup: 2: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

In the itch "Installing on Linux page it says "you'll need GTK3 installed."  So I went to the GTK page to find out about installing it:

https://raspberry-projects.com/pi/programming-in-c/gui-programming-in-c/gtk/inst...

I ran into one issue here.  The page says, "Include gtk and get programming – see here," but I am not sure what this means?

 #include <gtk/gtk.h>

This is what I get:

andrew@AndrewPi:/tmp/itch $ include gtk/gtk.h 
bash: include: command not found

Do I need to install an "include" app?  Do I need this step?  Is it possible on Pi OS?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

craigr

I don’t think that’s supported, because of CPU architecture - Raspberry Pi is ARM board, but itch app is only built for Intel x86/x64 arch currently. There’s request for ARM support on Github: https://github.com/itchio/itch/issues/2736
