Theos is a popular development toolkit for creating tweaks for iOS applications, particularly for jailbroken devices. Here's a simplified guide on how to install Theos in a noob-friendly way. Keep in mind that this involves jailbreaking your device, which can void your warranty, expose your device to security risks, and may lead to instability.
### **Prerequisites:**
1. **Jailbroken iOS Device**: Ensure your iOS device is jailbroken. You can find various tools based on your device/version (e.g., unc0ver, checkra1n).
2. **Terminal Emulator**: Make sure you have a terminal emulator installed on your device, such as MTerminal or NewTerm 2.
3. **Cydia**: Make sure you have Cydia (or any other package manager) installed.
### **Installation Steps:**
1. **Open Cydia**:
- Launch Cydia on your jailbroken device.
2. **Add Required Repositories**:
- Go to "Sources" in Cydia and tap on "Edit" and then "Add" to add the following repositories if they aren’t already included:
```
https://debugging.saurik.com
ichitaso's Repository
```
3. **Install Necessary Packages**:
- Search for and install the following packages:
- **Theos**: Look specifically for "Theos" in your repositories.
- **dpkg**: This is usually included, but ensure it’s installed.
- **make**: You may need this for building your tweaks.
4. **Install Command Line Tools**:
- You might need to install command line tools like `git` and `curl` which can also be found in Cydia or through your terminal.
5. **Install Theos**:
- Open your terminal emulator on your device and run:
```bash
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Theos/installer/master/theos-installer.sh | bash
```
- This command downloads and runs the Theos installation script.
6. **Set Up Environment Variables**:
- Once installed, edit your `.bash_profile` or `.zshrc` file (depending on the shell you are using) to include Theos in your path.
- Use the command below to edit your profile file:
```bash
nano ~/.bash_profile
```
- Add the following line to the file:
```bash
export THEOS=/path/to/theos
export PATH=$THEOS/bin:$PATH
```
- Remember to replace `/path/to/theos` with the actual installation path of Theos (typically `/opt/theos`).
7. **Apply Changes**:
- After updating your profile, run the following command to apply the changes:
```bash
source ~/.bash_profile
```
8. **Verify Installation**:
- To check if Theos is correctly installed, you can try running:
```bash
theos
```
### **Creating Your First Tweak**:
Once you have Theos installed, you can start creating tweaks by following the documentation available on the [Theos GitHub page](https://github.com/theos/theos).
### **Important Notes**:
- **Backup Your Device**: Before proceeding with any kind of modifications, it’s always a good idea to back up your device data.
- **Understand the Risks**: Modifying apps and tweaking iOS can lead to unexpected behavior or system instability.
- **Stay Updated**: Always check for the latest updates and community guides for Theos.
