Instructions for patching on Windows, Linux, or macOS with kobopatch:
  1. Download the firmware from here.
  2. Download and unzip kobopatch_4.15.12920.zip from here.
  3. Copy the original firmware you just downloaded into the kobopatch src folder.
  4. Install the firmware on your kobo BEFORE proceeding with the next steps.
  5. Enable patches in the files in the src folder (or use the overrides in kobopatch.yaml to keep your options separate).
  6. Run kobopatch.bat on Windows, or kobopatch.sh on Linux.
  7. If the patching succeeded, a file named KoboRoot.tgz will be created in the out folder. Copy it to the .kobo folder of your device.
  8. Safely remove your device.

See the kobopatch - An improved patching system thread for more details.
I wanna make sure I do this correctly.

I've done steps 1 and 2.
About step 3: Should I extract/unzip "kobo-update-4.15.12920.zip" (the firmware) first? Or do I just move that zip file (unextracted) into the unzipped "/kobopatch_4.15.12920/src/" folder?

About step 4: How exactly do I *install* the firmware?
