====== Installation ======
  - Download requirements ([[..:python:rel2x|Python 2.5.x]], [[..:python:rel2x#python_imaging_library|PIL-1.7.7]] and [[..:pymui:start|PyMUI v0.4]], Laygroup and NList MCCs) and install them on your system (in preference in ''SYS:'', see installation page for each of them).
  - Download latest phatch archive (see download section) in ''RAM:''.
  - Using Ambient, browse the archive contents: copy (''C'' and ''Libs'') and past it inside ''SYS:'' (or where the your Python installation resides).

====== Usage ======
Phatch can run in two way: using it as a shell command (console mode) or using the GUI mode.

  * **GUI usage**: just execute the file ''C:phatch'' (if installation has been done in ''SYS:'').

  * At the first execution, Phatch prepares some directories and put configuration files in the directory set by the ''$HOME'' environment variable.\\
To fix this variable at each boot of your MorphOS system, just open MorphOS Preferences, Users category and add an user with automatic login, specifies a valid home directory and save. Then you can run Phatch.

  * **Console usage**: in a Shell console, run phatch with ''--console'' argument.

  * More usage by running ''phatch --help'' in a Shell console.

  * For you information, Phatch saves by default resulting images in ''RAM:phatch'' and thumbnails of them in ''T:thumbnails''.
