Installing Cydia (an alternative to Installer) Mac & Windows XP / Vista 
Installing Cydia (an alternative to Installer) Mac & Windows XP / VistaWhat is Cydia? It's just like Installer, but it is open source and hasmore features. And more importantly, fewer problems to fix. Let's faceit Installer and BSD Subsystem and the Term-vt100 have many issuesthat no one seems to want to fix. If you'd like to learn more aboutCydia, then check out theauthor's site here. Let me put out somecritical information up front, before I get into the installation of thisprogram.You can have Cydia and Installer both on the iPhone. This is notnecessarily a replacement for Installer, but it could be.If you have already installed BSD Subsystem via the Installer, then itwill be overwritten and a better version will be installed in its place viathe Cydia program.You must never update BSD Subsystem via the Installer ever again asyou could damage the installation files that Cydia will create.If you should use any programs from the Installer that require BSDSubsystem to run, then you should use the program called Fake BSDSubsystem which I'll cover later.
Step 1.
If you followed my Step 1 guide (sorry Windows users, don't have onefor you yet) for activating, jailbreaking, and unlocking the iPhone, thenyou should already have the Installer installed. Make sure your Auto-Lock is set to Never. Launch the Installer. It will open on the Featuredpage.
 
Press the Sources icon at the bottom. Install Community Sources if you haven't done so yet. Press the Edit button at the top right. Nowpress the Add button at the top left.Enter apptapp.saurik.com, then press OK. It will refresh the sourcesand you will be back at this screen. Press the Done button.Now press the Refresh button in the top left corner. You should nowsee this in your iPhone's installer sources.Press the Install icon at the bottom. Scroll down to the System folderand press it. Select the Cydia Packager.Install this program. It will take a while to download.Make sure to read this and press OK. Installation will begin.Status messages will appear. Read this message then press OK.Go back to the System folder. Now install Fake BSD Subsystem.Read this message, then press OK. Here's the program on theSpringBoard.Like Installer, it starts out on the Featured page. Much of this programshould look familiar to you if you've used the Installer. Press the Installicon at the bottom and you'll come to an empty page. Press the reloadarrow in the top right corner.You'll now have a list of folders. Select what you'd like to install at thispoint. I always install the Terminal.Press the Install button in the top right corner. Now press the Confirmbutton in the top right corner.
