If you haven’t already heard, those rockingPwn20wnd’sunc0verjailbreak for iOS 11.0-11.4 beta 3can now install the Sileo package manager alongside Cydiaon their pwned handset.
The choice to install theSileopackage manager on your unc0verjailbreakis entirely up to you, but if you’d like to move forward with the install, then you’ll find all the steps you need to follow to do so in thistutorial.
Before you get started
Please note that Sileo package manageris still in its beta stages, and this portis not officially supported by the Sileo Team. That said,you install Sileo with this method at your own risk. If you should have any problems with this installation, do not reach out to the Sileo Team for help. Instead, reach out to /u/Samg_is_a_Ninja on /r/jailbreak,as he is responsible for this port.
Also,do not uninstall Cydiaafter installing Sileo on your device.Cydiais still the primary package manager on the unc0ver jailbreak, and this port is designed in such a way that Sileo will work alongside Cydia instead of outright replacing it. You may also want to keep Cydia as a backup in case anything goes horribly wrong with Sileo.
Install MTerminal by iOS developer lordscotland from Cydia before getting started. This appwas recently updated with support for the unc0ver jailbreak, so install version 1.4-6 (don’t download the one with the version number 1.4-5). This app is necessary because you will need to run someterminalcommands mid-installation.
If you accept all the above notes, you may move forward with the installation by following the steps outlined below:
