    EXAMPLE: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/ios/xbmc-20111202-6729214-master-ios.deb
  2. Open up your terminal/ssh application and enter the following commands: 
    ssh [email protected]
    EXAMPLE: ssh [email protected]
  3. You will be asked for a password: default password is alpine
  4. Continue to enter the following commands: 
    rm -f xbmc*.deb
    curl -O -L URL-FROM-STEP-1-HERE
    EXAMPLE: curl -O -L http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/ios/xbmc-20111202-6729214-master-ios.deb
    dpkg -i xbmc*.deb
