This page contains instructions for installing [[Theos]] and preparing a new project.
This article is obsolete, and has been replaced by the [https://theos.dev/install theos.dev website].


== Requirements ==
If you need historical installation instructions, you can find the last version of this article [https://iphonedev.wiki/index.php?title=Theos/Setup&oldid=5735 here].
 
* A UNIX-based operating system (Mac OS X, iOS (jailbroken), and most variants of Linux should do)
** subversion or git
** curl
** perl
* Some form of a toolchain or official SDK
* Access to a terminal emulator and some knowledge of how to use it
* '''Objective-C knowledge'''
 
More detailed explanations of these requirements are given in the next section, and are dependent on the environment you use.
 
== Setting Up Dependencies ==
 
=== For Mac OS X ===
 
Mac OS X comes with most of the necessary tools (subversion, curl, and perl) by default.
You will still need compilation tools and the iOS SDK, and the easiest way to obtain both of these is by installing the official [http://developer.apple.com/iphone/ iOS SDK] from Apple's web site. (You will have to register for a free developer account in order to download it.)
 
=== For iOS ===
 
* Install the SDK.
<!-- What does this mean? -->
 
=== For Linux ===
 
Like OS X, most distributions come pre-packaged with the aforementioned tools. On Debian-based distros, APT can be used to install the tools like so:
<pre>sudo apt-get install git perl curl</pre>
 
If your distro uses RPM, the process is very similar. As for the SDK, it can be downloaded from Apple's web site, as mentioned above.
 
== Installing Theos ==
 
=== On Mac OS X or Linux ===
 
# Open a terminal window.
# Choose a location for Theos to be installed. If you are unsure, a good choice is <tt>/opt/theos</tt>.<pre>export THEOS=/opt/theos</pre>
#* If you chose a location outside of your user's home directory, you will probably need to run some or all of the following commands with root permissions.
# Download the latest version of Theos:
#* Using git: <pre>git clone git://github.com/DHowett/theos.git $THEOS</pre>
#* Alternatively, you can use svn, if you prefer: <pre>svn co http://svn.howett.net/svn/theos/trunk $THEOS</pre>
# Download <tt>[[ldid]]</tt> to <tt>$THEOS/bin</tt>: <pre>git clone git://git.saurik.com/ldid.git&#10;cd ldid&#10;git submodule update --init&#10;./make.sh&#10;cp -f ./ldid $THEOS/bin/ldid</pre>
 
=== On iOS ===
 
(On your iOS device:)
 
# Create a file at <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/coredev.nl.list</tt> containing the following line: <pre>deb http://coredev.nl/cydia iphone main</pre>
# Create a file at <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/howett.net.list</tt> containing the following line: <pre>deb http://nix.howett.net/theos ./</pre>
# Make sure APT 0.6 Transitional Package is installed before doing this step.As root, issue these commands (using either SSH or MobileTerminal): <pre>apt-get update</pre><pre>apt-get install perl net.howett.theos</pre>
 
'''Note:''' Theos will be installed to <tt>/var/theos/</tt> on your device, hereafter referred to as <tt>$THEOS</tt> in this guide.
 
== Creating a Project ==
 
Theos lets you create new projects based on templates using the New Instance Creator (NIC).  You do not need to be root to do this step, nor should you be.  Start the NIC wizard using the following command:
 
$THEOS/bin/nic.pl
 
NIC will prompt you for all the necessary information before creating a project.
 
=== NIC Example ===
 
Here is an example of what you will see when using the NIC to create a project (with user input shown in bold):
 
$ '''$THEOS/bin/nic.pl'''
NIC 1.0 - New Instance Creator
------------------------------
  [1.] iphone/application
  [2.] iphone/library
  [3.] iphone/preference_bundle
  [4.] iphone/tool
  [5.] iphone/tweak
Choose a Template (required): '''1'''
Project Name (required): '''iPhoneDevWiki'''
Package Name [com.yourcompany.iphonedevwiki]: '''net.howett.iphonedevwiki'''
Authour/Maintainer Name [Dustin L. Howett]:             
Instantiating iphone/application in iphonedevwiki/...
Done.
$
 
The above will create a folder <tt>./iphonedevwiki</tt> in the current working directory - make sure you have permissions to create a folder.
 
==Getting Started==
You can learn how to do Makefiles with theos on http://uv.howett.net/ipf.html. Start over there.<br>
You can learn how to do nic templates on http://theos.howett.net/nic/.
 
== Getting Help ==
 
If you need further assistance, or if you have other questions about Theos itself, feel free to connect to #theos on irc.saurik.com using your preferred IRC client.
