Butler install it too clever ^^ #122

Closed delahee closed 7 years ago

delahee commented 7 years ago

Hi,

Butler is very nice, there is only one thing that bugs me a tiny bit. When installing it doesn't ask for directory, hence default directory is a user one.

Problem is I use external processes with isolated users for butler, and in these processse there is no access to user home directory sometime... ideally it would be cool If I could choose at install time to put the itch app in a less boxed location so that I can still used boxed process to perform deployment steps.

Feel free to close if it brings more problems than advantages.

I'm happy witch itch.io/app installing its dependencies to %APPDATA% - but nobody's saying you need to use the app's copy of butler for your own usage :)

Separate download/install instructions are available here: https://itch.io/docs/butler/installing.html - and although butler stores secrets in user directories by default, you can override that by passing --identity path/to/identity/file !

We've planned on adding an https://itch.io/butler page to have more visible download links (to stable versions, not just bleeding-edge)
