We’ve talked about Cydia before, during our tutorial on how to download torrents using your iPod Touch. The most frequent question we got after that was: “How do we get Cydia on our phones?” Today, we answer it.

First a quick note: You can have both Cydia and the original Installer on your iPod Touch. However, we recommend using Cydia to install new programs from the moment you install it to avoid overwriting the BSD Subsystem files. In case you “have” to use the original Installer, make sure to use the Fake BSD Subsystem in the Installer’s System folder.

Here are the steps to installing Cydia apps to iPhone or iPod Touch:

1. Make sure your iPod Touch has been jailbroken.

2. Launch the Installer and click on the Sources icon (it should be near the bottom)

3. Click on Edit -> Add. Then, type in apptapp.saurik.com, which should refresh the Source screen

4.You will see Saurik’s source at the bottom. Click on the Install icon, go to the Systems folder and choose the Cydia Installer

5. The app will take a bit of time to download so you may as well watch some TV or surf a bit while it installs. Once the download is done, you just have to agree to the terms to begin the installation.

6. The installation will prompt you for updates that need to be made, with a couple of options. Choose “Upgrade Essentials” and let it update.

7. Important: You will see a popup early on telling you to restart Cydia. However, don’t restart yet until the progress bar at the bottom is done/

8. Voila! You’ve installed the best installer tool on your iPod Touch!
