    How to install ideviceinstaller

    Hello,

    I noticed it should be possible to sync apps with Ubuntu / iPod / iPhone too so went in and looked to install it.
    Below is a guide to install ideviceinstaller, hope it works. Any info to make this guide better is more then welcome!
    I am by no means an expert, but it worked for me

    Howto - Iphone App sync


    Preparation

    Code:
    $ sudo apt-get install libtool automake autoconf git-core swig build-essential python-dev libusbmuxd-dev libglib2.0-dev libgnutls-dev libplist-dev libplist++-dev libplist++1 libzip-dev libclutter-1.0-dev libclutter-gtk-0.10-dev intltool
    Get and compile the latest 'libimobiledevice'

    Code:
    $ cd ~/Downloads
    $ wget http://www.libimobiledevice.org/downloads/libimobiledevice-1.0.1.tar.bz2
    $ tar xvjf libimobiledevice-1.0.1.tar.bz2
    $ cd ~/Downloads/libimobiledevice-1.0.1
    $ ./configure
    $ make
    $ sudo make install
    Get and compile ideviceinstaller

    Code:
    $ git clone git://git.sukimashita.com/ideviceinstaller.git
    $ cd ideviceinstaller/
    $ ./autogen.sh
    $ ./configure
    $ make
    $ sudo make install
    Get and compile sbmanager

    Code:
    $ git clone git://git.sukimashita.com/sbmanager.git
    $ cd sbmanager
    $ ./autogen.sh
    $ ./configure
    $ make
    $ sudo make install
    How does it work

    * List all apps on your iPhone/iPod:
    Code:
    $ ideviceinstaller -l
    * Archive an app:
    Code:
    $ ideviceinstaller -a <app>
    * Restore an app:
    Code:
    $ ideviceinstaller -r <app>
    * Create a backup:
    Code:
    $ idevicebackup backup ~/backup
    * Restore a backup:
    Code:
    $ idevicebackup restore ~/backup
    * Get info:
    Code:
    $ ideviceinfo
    * Manage your springboard:
    Code:
    $ sbmanager
    Troubleshooting

    * Error: ideviceinstaller: error while loading shared libraries: libimobiledevice.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    - Fix:
    Code:
    $ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libimobiledevice.so.1.0.1 /usr/lib/libimobiledevice.so.1
    * Error: idevicebackup: /build/buildd/libplist-1.1/src/plist.c:576: plist_get_uint_val: Assertion `length == sizeof(uint64_t)' failed.
    - Fix: No fix (yet). The error appears on both my iPod Touch and iPhone 3GS on both 32 bit and 64 bit Ubuntu

    Re: How to install ideviceinstaller

    Just a quick info. I was able to install everything as per your guide. Thanks a lot!

    The binary for apps is ideviceinstaller -l - to list the apps and not ideviceinstall.

    One issue I have is that sbmanager runs under root - sudo sbmanager.

    Under the local user it throws an exception. I am still trying to figure what is the problem. I am sure it is permission problem, but for sure it is not on the sbmanager.

    Re: How to install ideviceinstaller

    is it normal that I cannot find ifuse-dev???
    also, I had to install intltool due to an error like
    Code:
    syntax error near unexpected token `0.35.0'

    Changed the binary
    Glad you liked it, it was my first tutorial.
    No idea about sbmanager, except like you mentioned: permissions

    I'm pretty sure you do not need ifuse-dev, and I cannot recall finding it either. Either way, ifuse-dev is removed and intltool is added
    Thanks for the info!

    In my case this doesn't work even changing the code to 1.0.1. I don't know if it's because of a new version (1.0.1) but I can't get SBManager to work, neither ideviceinfo.

    Any solution?

    Sorry to hear it didn't work for you. Could you post the error you get?

    Forget it, I ran an apt-get upgrade and now it's working.

    Re: How to install ideviceinstaller

    Hey guys I've been trying to get these apps working on my laptop, but I come up with an error concerning libclutter-1.0-dev libclutter-gtk-0.10-dev installation packages.
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    libclutter-1.0-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-dev but it is not going to be installed
    libclutter-gtk-0.10-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-dev but it is not going to be installed

    Any ideas?
