How to Install Installous via Cydia on iPhone

Installous is an application on a jailbroken iDevice that will allow you to search and install applications similar to the Apple iTunes store. Follow the directions below to install Installous from within the Cydia application.

1. Launch Cydia: Login to your iPhone and click on the Cydia icon, which is shown in the first image below, from your iPhone desktop to launch the Cydia application as shown in the second example image below.
   
   
   
2. Manage Cydia: Now click the Manage icon located in the bottom navigation bar within Cydia to launch the Cydia Manage screen as shown in the below example image.
   
   
3. Cydia Manage Sources: Click the Sources button located between the Packages button and the Storage button from the Cydia Manage screen as shown in the below example image. 
   
   
4. Add Hackulous Source To Cydia: Now click the Edit button located in the top right corner of the Manage Cydia Sources page which will reveal an Add button in the top left corner of your iPhone desktop.
   
   Once the Add button is revealed in the top left corner click it to open a new window titled Enter Cydia/APT URL and type “http://cydia.hackulo.us” as shown in the below image.
   
   
   
   Once you have entered the cydia.hackulo.us URL click the Add Source button which will display a warning about the Hackulous repository you are adding as shown in the below example image.
   
   
   
   Since I am sure you will not be adding any illegal software from the Hackulous repository you can click the Add Anyway button to add the source which will immediately cause Cydia to update sources as shown in the below image.
   
   
   
   After the updating sources is completed the below screen will display on your iPhone while the sources data is reloaded.
   
   
   
   Once the data is reloaded click the Return To Cydia button to return to the Cydia Manage screen.

5. Cydia Changes Screen: Once the new Hackulos source has been added in step four click the Changes icon located in the bottom navigation bar to open the Cydia Changes screen as shown below.
   
   
   
   Regardless if the new Hackulos packages display immediately or not you should click the Refresh button to refresh the changes within Cydia which will refresh any changes and possibly also shown “Downloading Release” as displayed in the below example image.
   
   
   
   Once refreshing is complete all of the changes will display similar to the first image in this step (step five) above.
