Nice, that did the trick. Thanks!

Hmmm, strange. Did it used to be packed in a zip file? Because previous versions worked fine in the app, but now it complains that there's no handler for the .tgz format when installing, even with 0.90, which I had previously installed from the app but no longer can since it's also a .tgz file in the current downloads. Installing the Windows .zip file works fine from the Windows itch app, by the way. 

Of course, I can just download from the browser and it works fine, but the itch app is a nice way to install software and keep it updated when it works.

Hi there. I tried updating to 0.92 from the itch app on linux but got an error saying "no manager for installer unknown." I can send you the stack trace if that helps. Thanks.

Installing MM 0.9 doesn't currently work from the Itch desktop app, at least on Linux. It actually tries to install the 0.8 version instead. Some sort of configuration typo in the package definition?

You may receive this error in certain circumstances: "It seems your browser does not support running Unity WebGL content from file:// urls. Please upload it to an http server, or try a different browser.", but you can get around it. You may be able to download and play from within the itch application on Windows, but you will receive this error if you try to open the downloaded files from your Windows file system instead. However, you will also get this error if you try to download and play from within the itch app on Linux, which is more inconvenient and is how I ran into it.

This requires having Chrome/Chromium installed.
On Windows, create a new shortcut to Chrome and modify its "target" parameters to something like this, but with your own path to Itch games:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" E:\Programs\itch\monsamsara\index.html --allow-file-access-from-files

This will also work from within a cmd terminal.

On Linux, I created a mon_samsara.sh shell script with the following and set it to executable:

chromium /home/my_user_name/.config/itch/apps/monsamsara/index.html --allow-file-access-from-files

These are all on one line in case that's not clear.

Of course, the other option is just to play from the itch.io website, but if you want to download the files, this is how to do it. This should also work for other Unity WebGL games.
