[Guide] Install a deb file

First of all, what is a .deb file ?

It is a package which contains everything you need to install an application (often coming from Cydia). The package is edited by hackers, they modify the code lines and then it becomes a cracked application.

There's different ways to install a .deb file, we will the main ones :

1st method : Mobile Terminal

 [Steps 2 and 3 are only if you never installed a .deb file with this method]

1.  Download the .deb file you want (example : LockInfo)
2. Start Cydia, go to "Search", type "Mobile Terminal" and install it

3. Repeat step 2 for "OpenSSH"

 

4. Start "MobileTerminal"

 

5. Type the following commands :

• su  (press return)
• alpine  (press return)  /!\ You won't see the typed password then don't worry /!\
• dpkg -i nameofpackage.deb  (press return, replace nameofpackage with LockInfo for the example)

Note that you can rename the .deb file like 1.deb (it's easier to type)

 

6. Reboot
