The steps necessary for manual installation are:

• Depending upon your OS:
  1. For Windows: Add <DBPATCH_PATH>/bin to your PATH so that you can invoke dbpatch.bat from any location.
  2. For Linux or Mac OSX: create a symlink from <DBPATCH_PATH>/bin/dbpatch.php to your bin folder (usually /usr/bin) named dbpatch.

When the installation is finished you can invoke the dbpatch command from any path in your system. Recommended is to read the chapter Usage, which will explain how to start using DbPatch.
