Install iOS Applications From Linux
People always liked the free stuff. Although that line hardly explains why people use Ubuntu (or any other linux distributions) to work with, people really like the free things in life and it’s quite obvious.
So, what happens when you have a jailbroken iPhone and an Ubuntu terminal to install apps with? You’d probably get stuck if you don’t know what’s ideviceinstaller.
ideviceinstaller is a linux terminal utility to install iPhone apps (.ipa) to your iDevices.
To install, use this command
sudo apt-get install ideviceinstaller
And type in your password.
To install apps, cd to the directory in which you have the .ipa file and then,
ideviceinstaller -i appname.ipa
That’s it.
You can also use,
-l switch to list the apps you have
-u switch to uninstall an app with an APPID
-a to archive an app
-r to restore an archive app
The repo is the universe ubuntu repository. You don’t need to add it.
Hope you get it right.
