[Itch](https://itch.io/?ac=ywUpyBMGXvG) 是独立数字创造者的平台，主要专注于独立游戏。它最初是一个托管、销售和下载独立视频游戏的网站。但是现在，Itch 也提供书籍、漫画、工具、棋类游戏、原声带等来自独立创造者的数字内容。


作为一名用户，你或者能够免费下载这些数字内容，或者按照创造者设定的价格下载。你所有下载和购买的东西都同步到你的账户，以便你可以在任何你想的时间内下载它们。


它有点像 Steam，但是更专注于独立开发者和创作者。


你可以从它的网站浏览 Itch ，但是 Itch 也提供了一个 [开源的桌面客户端](https://github.com/itchio/itch)，有一些额外的优势。使用桌面客户端：


* 你可以浏览游戏和其它的内容，并下载它们到你的系统上。
* 桌面客户端会自动更新所有新功能。
* 你下载的游戏也自动更新。
* 如果你在 Itch 玩基于浏览器的游戏, 那么你可以使用 Itch 桌面客户端离线玩。


在这篇教程中，我将向你展示在 Ubuntu 或其它任何 Linux 发行版上安装 Itch 的步骤。


### 在 Linux 桌面上安装 Itch


Itch 提供一个名称为 itch-setup 的安装器。你可以从它的下载网页下载这个文件。


* [下载 Linux 版 Itch](https://itch.io/app)


这个 itch-setup 文件可以工作在任何的 Linux 发行版上，只要它已经安装有 GTK 3 （libgtk-3-0）。大多数当前的 Linux 发行版应该已经有它了。


在你下载安装文件后，在其上面右击并给予它可执行权限。

现在在这个安装文件上通过双击来运行。它将下载 Itch 的最新版本。

实际花费的时间取决于你的网速。几分钟后，你应该会看到这个屏幕，要求你登录你的 Itch 账号。

在你登录后，你可以浏览游戏和其它的内容，并下载/购买它们。


整个安装过程类似于 [在 Ubuntu 上安装 Steam](https://itsfoss.com/install-steam-ubuntu-linux/)。


你可以在 `~/.itch` 文件夹中找到 Itch 的文件。你从 Itch 下载的内容通常位于 `~/.config/itch` 。补充一句，`~` 意味着你的家目录。


### 从你的系统中移除 Itch 桌面应用程序


出于某些原因，如果你不想再使用 Itch ，你可以从你的系统中移除它。为此，麻烦的是，你需要使用终端。


打开一个终端，并使用下面的命令：



```
~/.itch/itch-setup --uninstall

```

它不会移除你的内容库。如果你想移除下载的游戏和材料，你可以手动删除 `~/.config/itch` 文件夹。



```
rm -r ~/.config/itch

```

### 你用 Itch 吗？


Itch 是一个独立创作者的道德平台，也是这种模式的支持者。Itch 使用 “你想付多少钱就付多少钱”，买家可以支付大于或相等内容创作者设置的任何金额。


Itch 也有开放收益分享模式。创作者可以与 Itch 分享部分他们产生的收入，也可以不分享。


就我个人而言，我更喜欢像 Itch 和 Humble Bundle 这些有道德的商店。像 Humble Bundle 一样，Itch 也时不时地进行销售和捆绑销售。这有助于你节省资金，并支持独立开发者和创作者。


你使用 Itch ，还是 Humble Bundle ？你还使用哪种类似的平台？

OK
[Itch](https://itch.io/?ac=ywUpyBMGXvG) is a platform for independent digital creators with main focus on indie games. It was actually started as website to host, sell and download indie video games but these days, Itch also provides books, comics, tools, board games, soundtracks and more digital content from indie creators.

As a user, you can download these digital content either for free or for a price set by the creator. All your downloads and purchases are synced to your account so that you can download them whenever you want.

Consider it like Steam but more focused on indie developers and creators.

You can browse Itch from its website but Itch also provides and [open source desktop client](https://github.com/itchio/itch) that gives you some additional advantages. With the desktop client:

- You can browse games and other content and download them on your system.
- The desktop client is automatically updated with all the new features.
- Your downloaded games are also automatically updated.
- If you play browser-based game on Itch, you can play it offline using the Itch desktop client.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you the steps to install Itch on Ubuntu or any other Linux distribution.

## Installing Itch on Linux desktop

Itch provides an installer file named itch-setup. You can download this file from its download page.

This itch-setup file should work on any Linux distribution as long as it has GTK 3 (libgtk-3-0) installed. Most recent Linux distributions should have it.

Once you download the setup file, right click on it and give it execute permission.

Now run this setup file by double-clicking on it. It will start downloading the latest version of Itch.

![Installing Itch Linux](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/08/installing-itch-linux.jpg)

It will take some time depending upon your internet speed. In a few minutes, you should see the this screen asking you to log in to your Itch account.

Once you are logged in, you can browse games and other contents and download/purchase them.

![Itch Game Page](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/08/itch-game-page-800x441.png)

The entire installation process is similar to [Steam installation on Ubuntu](https://itsfoss.com/install-steam-ubuntu-linux/).

You can find the Itch files in ~/.itch folder. The content you download from Itch usually resides in ~/.config/itch. If you didn’t know, ~ means your home directory.

## Remove Itch desktop application from your system

For some reasons, if you do not want to use Itch anymore, you can remove it from your system. For that, unfortunately, you’ll have to use the terminal.

Open a terminal and use the following command:

`~/.itch/itch-setup --uninstall`


It won’t remove your content library. If you want to remove the downloaded games and stuff, you can delete the ~/.config/itch folder manually.

`rm -r ~/.config/itch`


**Do you use Itch?**

Itch is an ethical platform for indie creators and supporters of such models. Itch uses “pay what you want to pay” where the buyer can pay any amount equal or greater than the price set by the content creator.

Itch also has open revenue sharing model. The creators can share some or no part of their generated revenue with Itch.

Personally, I prefer such ethical businesses like Itch and Humble Bundle. Like Humble Bundle, Itch also runs sales and bundles from time to time. This helps you save money and support indie developers and creators.

Do you use Itch or Humble Bundle? Which other similar platform do you use?
