Please forgive my ignorance, but what program do you use to run this script? I have a different version that I need updated and I have no idea how to do it. Willing to do some research but is there any program name you could give me to at least point me in the right direction?

you basically need to run this on any linux machine, the script itself is written in BASH, but you'll need to have a few tools installed (gparted, squashfs-tools, wget). If you don't have a linux computer, you can try installing ubuntu in Virtualbox or with Vagrant.
