 Enables Godmode, unlocking *all features* on (hardware transcoding, intro/credit detection, HEVC transcoding, etc..) on Plex Media Server. Including Plex Pass features without a required subscription, and including early-access/development/Plex Ninja features.
 
-## Installation
+# Installation
 
-### Windows
+## Windows
 
 1. Download `IPHLPAPI.dll` from [the latest release](https://github.com/yuv420p10le/plexmediaserver_crack/releases/latest/download/IPHLPAPI.dll) and put it in your Plex Media Server's installation folder. (e.g. `C:\Program Files\Plex\Plex Media Server`)
 2. Restart Plex Media Server. All features will be unlocked.
 
-### Linux
+## Linux
 
 x86-64 only.
 
-Written for [linuxserver/docker-plex](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-plex).
+First, install `patchelf` from your distribution's package manager or `pip`:
 
-Get the [latest amd64 build of patchelf](https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/releases/latest), extract the inner `./bin/patchelf` file to your `/config` folder (the same one where `"Library"` is located). Ensure it has execute permissions.
+```bash
-
+sudo apt update && sudo apt install patchelf # Debian/Ubuntu/etc
-Download `plexmediaserver_crack.so` from [the latest release](https://github.com/yuv420p10le/plexmediaserver_crack/releases/latest/download/plexmediaserver_crack.so) and save it somewhere. If running under Docker, `/config` works. Otherwise, use a directory that is readable by the user running Plex Media Server.
+sudo pacman -S patchelf # Arch
-
+sudo yum install patchelf # Fedora/RHEL/Centos/Rocky/OpenSUSE/etc
-Execute the following commands:
+sudo apk update && apk add --upgrade patchelf # Alpine
-
+sudo pip install patchelf # pip; you might need --break-system-packages if installing if you're on an externally managed environment
-```sh
-docker exec -it plex ln -s /config/plexmediaserver_crack.so /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/lib/plexmediaserver_crack.so
-docker exec -it plex /config/patchelf --remove-needed plexmediaserver_crack.so "/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/lib/libsoci_core.so"
-docker exec -it plex /config/patchelf --add-needed plexmediaserver_crack.so "/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/lib/libsoci_core.so"
 ```
 
-Now restart Plex Media Server. All features will be unlocked.
+And then:
+
+### Native
+
+The script assumes Plex Media Server is currently running.
+
+Run the following command:
+
+```bash
+sudo sh -c "$(curl -sSL https://github.com/yuv420p10le/plexmediaserver_crack/releases/latest/download/crack_native.sh)"
+```
+
+Your Plex Media Server should now be restarted with all features unlocked.
+
+For persistance with Plex updates, create the above as a bash script (run as root!) and run it manually (or, trigger it) after updates or run it as a daily cronjob.
+
+### Docker
+
+Tested on [linuxserver/docker-plex](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-plex), but should work for all Docker setups.
+
+The script assumes Plex Media Server is currently running, that you have a mounted `/config` volume in the container, and that your container is named `plex`.  
+If your container is named differently or if your external volume is mounted elsewhere, change it at the top of the script instead of running it through this command.
+
+Run the following command: (you can emit `sudo` if the executing user is in the `docker` group)
+
+```bash
+sudo sh -c "$(curl -sSL https://github.com/yuv420p10le/plexmediaserver_crack/releases/latest/download/crack_docker.sh)"
+```
+
+Your Plex Media Server should now be restarted with all features unlocked.
 
 This will NOT persist through Docker image updates, as rebuilding the container will copy libraries freshly from the image.  
+Setup the above commands as a script for an easy installation, and optionally, set it as a cronjob to run daily.
