The firmware will update on sync, but if you want to do it yourself, the
firmware update zip file must be extracted to the .kobo folder on the reader. Eject and wait for the update to process.
The
patch zip file must be extracted to any folder on your Mac. The folder name can be the same as the zip file for clarity. The src folder contains four .yaml files, which contain the patches. Open them in a text editor. Each patch has its own comments/description. Each also has a line "Enabled: no". If you want to activate a patch, change the "no" to "yes".
Or, you can leave those four .yaml files as they are, and use kobopatch.yaml in the root folder to combine the patches you want in one place. The file itself contains instructions. Be aware of spaces at the beginning of each line. Do not use tabs.
With these details, you should now be able to follow the full instructions in the first post of this thread.
