# NightPatch
Enable Night Shift on any old Mac models.
You have to disable SIP (System Integrity Protection) before applying. [How to disable SIP](http://apple.stackexchange.com/a/209530)
Backup your Mac before applying.
Not compatible with some third-party monitors. This is a solution for unsupported Mac, not unsupported monitors!
## Supported macOS
macOS 10.12.4 or later including High Sierra. ([List of tested macOS build](docs/list.md))
About 10.13.4 (17E199) and 10.13.5 (17F35e) - 10.13.4 (17E199) and 10.13.5 (17F35e) work well for me but [some people undergo unbootable issue](https://github.com/pookjw/NightPatch/issues/5).
## How to patch
Enter this command on Terminal **without $**.
`$ cd /tmp; curl -s -o NightPatch.zip https://codeload.github.com/pookjw/NightPatch/zip/master; unzip -o -qq NightPatch.zip; cd NightPatch-master; chmod +x NightPatch.sh; sudo ./NightPatch.sh`
## How to revert using backup
You can revert using backup located on /Library/NightPatch. (NightPatch creates backup automatically when you patch your macOS) Enter this command on Terminal **without $**.
`$ cd /tmp; curl -s -o NightPatch.zip https://codeload.github.com/pookjw/NightPatch/zip/master; unzip -o -qq NightPatch.zip; cd NightPatch-master; chmod +x NightPatch.sh; sudo ./NightPatch.sh --revert`
## How to revert using macOS combo Update
If you deleted backup (or not backed up with NightPatch), enter this command on Terminal **without $**. NightPatch will download original system file from Apple. This method works without backup.
`$ cd /tmp; curl -s -o NightPatch.zip https://codeload.github.com/pookjw/NightPatch/zip/master; unzip -o -qq NightPatch.zip; cd NightPatch-master; chmod +x NightPatch.sh; sudo ./NightPatch.sh --fix`
## How to run beta build
Enter this command on Terminal **without $**.
`$ cd /tmp; curl -s -o NightPatch.zip https://codeload.github.com/pookjw/NightPatch/zip/master; unzip -o -qq NightPatch.zip; cd NightPatch-master; chmod +x NightPatch.sh; sudo ./NightPatch-beta.sh`
- [Stable](https://github.com/pookjw/NightPatch/blob/master/NightPatch.sh) : Version 246
- [Beta](https://github.com/pookjw/NightPatch/blob/master/NightPatch-beta.sh) : Version 247 (changelog: [247](https://github.com/pookjw/NightPatch/commit/31e078eba8bd7bb437d7ef54c8e16c1b79631631))
If you want to revert using backup, use `--revert`. Also using macOS combo Update is `--fix`.
## Troubleshootings
- ERROR : Turn off System Integrity Protection before doing this.
: [Solution](http://apple.stackexchange.com/a/209530)
- 'Password:' ???
: Enter your login password.
- NightPatch repeatedly requires password.
: Update to latest macOS to solve this, or run NightPatch with `sudo su`.
- xcrun error
: Try `xcode-select --install` command.
