The fabledSileopackage manager, which was once endemic to jailbreaks such asChimera,Odyssey, andTaurine, is now officially available for all modern jailbreak solutions, including the likes ofcheckra1nandunc0ver, without the requirement of installing theOdysseyra1nscript or the Procursus bootstrap.
Given just how frequently we’re asked how to get the Sileo package manager alongside Cydia on checkra1n or unc0ver without unwanted hacks or substantial jailbreak-changing commitments, we decided to take this unique opportunity to show you how to use the new Sileo installer for the checkra1n and unc0ver jailbreaks.
What you need to know
Unlike Odysseyra1n, which completely uninstalled Cydia and many parts of the checkra1njailbreak’s native Bingner/Elucubratus bootstrap in order to replace it with the Procursus bootstrap, thisopen source installerwon’t do any of that. Instead, it will simply install the Sileo package manager alongside Sileo, leaving everything else alone.
If you’ve always wanted to try or use Sileo but were afraid of or hesitant about the aforementioned changes and how they’d affect your jailbroken device and its behavior, then this new installer is for you. All you need to use take advantage of it is an iPhone or iPad that has been pwned with checkra1n or unc0ver – the rest is a piece of cake.
We should also note thatall previous Sileo installer tutorials we’ve shared, includingthe Bingner installer,are now considered deprecatedandshould not be used. The Sileo Installer that you’re about to try out in this tutorial is officially endorsed and supported by the Sileo Team.
We reiterate:if you plan to install Sileo on your checkra1n or unc0ver device, thenthisis the only approved method as of now. Any other methods are performed at your own risk.
If you used a previous Sileo installer, it’s strongly recommended that you remove it before proceeding with this official installer. If you installed Odysseyra1n, then you would need touse the Restore System feature in the checkra1n Loader appand then re-jailbreak to get the Bingner/Eleucubratus bootstrap back before moving forward.
