It seems the BETA version of Installer has been leaked. I’m not sure if this is intentional or not but in any case. . .we have installer!

- The RiP Dev team wants everyone to know that this is an ‘early beta‘ copy. This was LEAKED and was not intended to be released at this time. So, if there are bugs don’t blame the developers

Basically they are saying if you see a few crashes or bugs don’t worry. They are still working on it and a more stable version will be out soon. The bugs will NOT brick your device. . .it will just give an error in the Installer program if something isn’t working(check the video below to see the errors im talking about).

Note - Just like when Cydia came out, there isn’t much listed in Installer right now. Just because it’s the updated version doesn’t mean all the applications will magically work. They still have to be ported to work with the firmware itself(not the installation application).

Click here or here to download the Installer 4.0 Beta application. . .and keep reading for a step by step guide on how to install it on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Note - This is NOT for the ‘noobs’. This involves typing in the ‘command line’ terminal(to chmod Installer).

Now how do you get that onto your device? First you will need to have a jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch. . .then you’ll need 2 applications called WinSCP and putty.

Click here to download WinSCP

Click here to download Putty

1. After you have downloaded and extracted the Installer 4.0 beta archive. . .you need to upload it to your device.
2. Open WinSCP and login to your iPhone or iPod Touch. - The username is ‘root’ and the password is ‘alpine’.
3. Upload the ‘Installer.app’ folder to the /Applications/’ directory.
4. Close WinSCP and open up putty.
5. SSH into your device with putty - again the username is ‘root’ and the password is ‘alpine’.
6. Type this into putty after you have logged in
chmod -R 777 “/Applications/Installer.app”
7. After pressing enter, now type this into putty
chmod a+srx “/Applications/Installer.app/Installer”
8. Now press enter and that’s it!
9. Restart your iPhone or iPod Touch and you’ll have your Installer 4.0 beta app installed correctly.

Update - Commenter Smiley says. . .

You can run the above commands in WinSCP too once you’ve copied Installer.app to the Applications directory.

Hit Ctrl+T and paste the commands in. Hit execute.

Voila. Working installer and no need to install PuTTY.

Thanks Smiley!
