-    - docker load --input dypybench.tar

-    - docker run -itd --name dypybench dypybench
-4. Login to the container
-    - docker start -i dypybench
+### Patching mechanism:
+Due to the substantial size of the image (55GB), uploading a new image for minor changes is impractical. Consequently, we propose implementing a patching mechanism as follows:
+
+- Patches addressing specific issues will appear in the "Releases" section of this repository; they will be provided as zip files.
+
+- Copy the patch zip file into the Docker container and proceed to unzip it
+
+- Execute the command "python3.10 patchXX.py" within the container, replacing "patchXX.py" with the accurate script name obtained after unzipping the patch.
