cd ISTA-Patcher-*-Release

# linux
chmod +x ISTA-Patcher

# macos
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ISTA-Patcher
chmod +x ISTA-Patcher
codesign --force --deep -s - ISTA-Patcher

Execute the following command in a terminal:

# [option] is a placeholder for the options you want to use.
ISTA-Patcher patch [option]... "\PATH\TO\ISTA"

The directory containing the patched files is located as follows:

  • .\ISTA\TesterGUI\bin\Release\@ista-patched
