Have you ever downloaded an iPhone/iPod touch app/mod that was in a .deb form and didn’t know how to install it?
Things you need:
Mobileterminal (from Cydia)
1. First, you have to know where the .deb file is (ie. if you downloaded it with Safari D/L Manager it would be in /var/mobile/Media/Downloads)
2. open mobile terminal
3. type “su” (without quotes)
4. it will prompt you for a password. the default is “alpine” (don’t worry if nothing shows up while you type, that’s whats supposed to happen)
5. type “dpkg -i /xxx/xxx/xxx” (where /xxx/xxx/xxx is where the .deb file is. REMEMBER, iPHONE OS IS BASED ON UNIX, MEANING THAT IT IS CASE SENSITIVE.)
6. it will then say some stuff like “selecting packages…”
7. after the command is finished running, you are done
8. exit terminal and respring your device if you were installing a mod (:
