• It is highly recommended to be on an iOS version on or before 4.3
• Look here to find out which version you are currently running.

Installing from Cydia

After XBMC is successfully installed, the ATV2 will restart, and XBMC should then be available as an option in the ATV2's main menu

This is the same build installed from the nitoTV menu, if installed.

To install the Cydia build:

1. Open up your terminal/ssh application and enter the following command to log in to your ATV2:

   ssh [email protected]

2. You will be asked for a password: default password is alpine
3. Continue to enter the following commands:
4. Issue these commands in your Terminal window, in sequence:

   apt-get install wget

   wget -O- http://apt.awkwardtv.org/awkwardtv.pub | apt-key add -

   echo "deb http://apt.awkwardtv.org/ stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/awkwardtv.list

   echo "deb http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/atv2 ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.list

   apt-get update

   apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2

   reboot

Eden Beta

No more nightly builds! Eden beta 2 is here! If you installed for the first time today using the above instructions then you already have Beta 2. If not, either update through NitoTV or issue the following commands to update your Cydia copy:

   ssh [email protected]

2. You will be asked for a password: default password is alpine
