Installing from latest nightly build

For various reasons, mostly technical, the Cydia copy of XBMC is not the most recent nightly build made by the build bot. Both versions are in development and are considered unstable pre-releases. It is recommended that you keep up to date on the latest nightly builds.

  1. You must install from Cydia at least once before you are able to install a nightly build. This is to make sure all of the proper dependancies are met.
  2. Open http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/atv2/ in your browser and copy the url of the most recent file in that listing
  3. In that url you just copied, make note of the file name after "../atv2/". For example it will look something like "xbmc-20110822-e391fde-master-atv2.deb"
  4. Open up your terminal/ssh application and enter the following commands:
wget PASTE-URL-FROM-STEP-2-HERE
dpkg -i FILE-NAME-FROM-STEP-3-HERE
rm FILE-NAME-FROM-STEP-3-HERE

You should now have the latest nightly build of XBMC for ATV2/iOS.
