I have been RTFMing the link, but I just don't understand how to

Download the patch-nvme-Master ZIP -> run the sh script and the kext was new build or upgraded for the 10.12.5 "./patch_nvme.sh --spoof 10_12_5"

I am trying to learn, not just ask someone to solve it for me, but is this done in Terminal? Xcode?
Rehabman's info is detailed, but there are some assumptions that a lot of us here just don't understand the step by step process to do this...
This is my second build and I just don't comprehend some of what the rest of you guys are assuming the rest of us know...
I don't have HackrNVMeFamily.kext or IONVMeFamily.kext installed in Clover.

I originally followed these instructions 5 months ago and has worked since then.....

1) grab your copy of macOS 10.12 SIERRA. download it to a disc of your choice. If u grabed it on a legal way, it should be named like "Install 10.12 Developer Preview"
2) boot into any previous OS X (10.10.x or 10.11.x) and put the downloaded file to your APPLICATIONS folder.
3) have a 16GB USB-stick handy and connected to any USBport
4) open terminal window and type in the following to make a bootable SIERRA usb-stick:

sudo /Applications/Install\ 10.12\ Developer\ Preview.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/your_USBstick_here --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ 10.12\ Developer\ Preview.app
just to make sure: "your_USBstick_here" should be replaced with the name of YOUR USBstick. Please don't use "your_USBstick_here", cause it won't work.
5) wait to get the bootable SIERRA USB-stick ready
6) get a copy of any CLOVER installer (4 myself i prefere this one. Thx to chris1111 for his great work)
7) install CLOVER to the just created SIERRA USBstick (within the installer choose the desired options you need for your setup)
8) copy your YOSEMITE or EL CAPITAN config.plist to your CLOVER installation you just made.
9) open the just copied config.plist with any texteditor (how about TEXTEDIT?) application and go to <key>KernelAndKextPatches</key> section
10) paste the following code somewhere between the two <array> </array> commands of <key>KextsToPatch</key> section:

11) save your config.plist file
12) grab the IONVMeFamily.kext from SIERRA (attached to this post) and paste it to your CLOVER EFI partition in the following place: EFI -> CLOVER -> kexts -> Other

! this step is neccesary, cause SIERRA Installer doesn't contain this kext in its own startup and you won't be able to select NVMe-device, cause it wasn't detected during startup !

13) install your NVMe device to your hardware. Either on an M.2 PCIe card for PCIe slot or directly into an M.2 slot on your motherboard. Have both tested here myself, both configs work perfectly 4 me
14) reboot your system, enter your BIOS and select SIERRA USBstick as your bootdevice
15) when CLOVER gets booted, select your SIERRA USBstick, press ENTER and wait for SIERRA booting into macOS 10.12 Installer.
16) when arrived into the installer, choose Use Disc Utility to get your NVMe-Device formatted. Format the device with desired partition or just delete partitions data
17) Quit DISC UTILITY to get back to SIERRA installer
18) select INSTALL SIERRA, choose your just formated NVMe-device and start Installation
19) when finished with the install process, copy your CLOVER EFI folder from SIERRA USBstick to EFI partition of your just installed SIERRA NVMe-device.

After doing so, you could delete IONVMeFamily.kext from EFI -> CLOVER -> kexts -> Other from your just installed SIERRA EFI partition, cause kext is now installed in S/L/E

I have my M.2 SSD and OS 10.12.3 working great, but I am failing to understand the nuts and bolts of

Download the patch-nvme-Master ZIP -> run the sh script and the kext was new build or upgraded for the 10.12.5 "./patch_nvme.sh --spoof 10_12_5"

Is .sh a Terminal script? Never done this before and I can keep reading over and over like Stork wants, but 5 months of apprehension is making this impossible for me to wrap my head around.
 
I've read the above and can see why you are confused because I can't make sense of what your trying to tell us.

So, I recommend that you look at my Gene build description (link in my signature block) to see how I did it. My build descriptions have been known to pass the "spousal test."
