Description

Just a small issue I noticed, when installing this as per the instructions (pip3 install pokeapi-ditto) this is not immediately compatible with MacOS, and likely other unix-based systems. There is an existing ditto command in unix for copying files, and this command always takes precedence. On MacOS after installing with pip the easiest way I could find to run this was via homebrew (/opt/homebrew/bin/ditto)

This should probably be noted somewhere
