Installation instructions for iOS

This guide will help you install Theos on your jailbroken iOS device.

Platform	Minimum OS version	Targets supported
iOS	5.0	iOS

All the commands shown in the following instructions are meant to be run as the “mobile” user, not root. Similarly, Theos is also meant to be run as a normal user, not root.

Install the following prerequisites:
- Procursus or Sam Bingner’s repository
- Theos Dependencies (package on either the Procursus or BigBoss repo, relies on the previous repository being installed first)
Set up the THEOS environment variable:

bash:
```
 echo "export THEOS=~/theos" >> ~/.profile
```
zsh:
```
 echo "export THEOS=~/theos" >> ~/.zshenv
```
For this change to take effect, you must restart your shell. Kill the terminal app in the taskswitcher then re-open the terminal app and do echo $THEOS on your shell to check if this is working.

Clone Theos to your device:

 git clone --recursive https://github.com/theos/theos.git $THEOS

Get the toolchain:

Theos Dependencies installs iOS Toolchain.

Get an iOS SDK:

You can get patched SDKs from our SDKs repo.

 curl -LO https://github.com/theos/sdks/archive/master.zip
 TMP=$(mktemp -d)
 unzip master.zip -d $TMP
 mv $TMP/sdks-master/*.sdk $THEOS/sdks
 rm -r master.zip $TMP

Install the Swift toolchain (optional):

Install swift if using Procursus, else install swift-toolchain from the BigBoss repo.

Note that compiling Swift code requires a fairly modern SDK. It is recommended that you use the latest SDK that you can get.
