I suppose this goes without saying, but just in case - make sure you have a jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch. Without it, you won’t have Installer.app on your device. To add additional sources to Installer - which will give you a wider variety of software to install, follow the instructions outlined below.

1. Tab the Installer icon on your home screen.



2. Select Sources from the bottom button-bar.
