How to Install .deb File

This guide assumes you know how to SSH into your iDevice. If you need a refresher, check out our easy SSH tutorial.

Step 1. Launch your SFTP client (I’m using Cyberduck) and login. Navigate to /var/root/Media on your iDevice. If you don’t already have a Cydia folder there, make one.

Step 2. If you already had a Cydia folder, open it and find the AutoInstall folder. If you didn’t, just open your newly made Cydia folder and create another new folder entitled AutoInstall.

Step 3. Locate the .deb file(s) you’d like to install and place them in the AutoInstall folder. Once copying is complete, restart your iDevice — twice. After the 2nd restart, the new packages should show up on your springboard and in Cydia.

That’s all there is to it! The cool thing is, with apps like iFile, you can do this all on your phone with no need for a computer. Imagine having a .deb file for every one of your favorite packages, restoring would take a fraction of the time.

With the new iOS, you can Install .deb file easily
