 4 |  ## TODO
 5 |  - Make it so that the names of the icons don't have to be exactly the same as the app
 6 |  - Fix an issue with system app icons
 7 | 
 8 | ## Preparation
 9 | - Place AppIconInstaller.sh inside the folder with your app icons
10 | - The names of the icons must be exactly the same as the app in this initial version
11 | - Don't worry about the backup folder, if one doesn't exist, it will be created
12 | 
13 | ## Running
14 | 1. Open terminal and run AppIconInstaller.sh 
15 |     - If you are unsure how to run it type "cd " then drag folder containing AppIconInstaller.sh onto the terminal line, this will automatically input the path name.
16 |     - Then once your directory has been changed, run ``` sh AppIconInstaller.sh```
17 | 2. Type in your password when prompted
18 | 
19 | ## Reverting
20 | - To undo the action and return the images to their originals, just move AppIconInstaller.sh into the backup folder and re-run the script
21 | - FYI When rerun in the backup folder, it will create another backup folder with the icons that its replacing
