Terminal Usage Guide for macOS and Linux Users:

This requires the use of your OS's Terminal! If you've never used it before, please search for how to use commands like cd, chmod, etc. so you understand how they work.

1. Open Terminal.
2. Navigate to the patcher file:
   Use cd /path/to/directory (replace /path/to/directory with your patcher's folder location, like Downloads if you saved the patcher executable there)
3. Make the patcher executable:
   • macOS: chmod +x WiiLinkPatcher_macOS-x64_v210 (use macOS-ARM64 for M1 and above).
   • Linux: chmod +x WiiLinkPatcher_Linux-<architecture>_v210 (replace <architecture> with ARM64 or x64).
4. Run the patcher:
   • macOS: ./WiiLinkPatcher_macOS-x64_v210 (use macOS-ARM64 for M1 and above).
   • Linux: ./WiiLinkPatcher_Linux-<architecture>_v210 (replace <architecture> with ARM64 or x64).
     Ensure you're in the patcher's directory when executing these commands. You can also adjust file permissions via a graphical file manager.
