brew install qt cmake usbmuxd libimobiledevice

 

For Ubuntu:

apt-get install cmake libqt4-dev git-core libimobiledevice-utils libplist-utils usbmuxd libxml2-dev libsqlite3-dev -y

 

Installing idb:

For production use

  • Install idb: gem install idb

For development use

  • Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/dmayer/idb
  • cd idb
  • bundle install (using the right ruby version)
  • As for every ruby gem, the application code lives in the lib folder
  • Run idb by calling bundle exec idb
