===What is iDeviceActivator?===
iDeviceActivator is an easy to use, graphical application to activate and deactivate iDevices in GNU/Linux. The activation portion is all based on my fork of ideviceactivate. It is avaliable under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 3.
===Installing iDeviceActivator===
==From Debian package==
dpkg -i ./iDeviceActivator_0.1_i386.deb
==From binary snapshot==
Extract iDeviceActivator to somewhere in your PATH.
Extract data and res to /usr/local/share/iDeviceActivator
==From Github==
=First We Need to Install the dependencies=
sudo apt-get install build-essential automake cmake autoconf \
libreadline6 autotools-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev \
libplist1 libplist-utils libplist-dev libplist++-dev \
libzip-dev git-core git-arch git-cvs git-svn git-email \
git-daemon-run gitk gitweb git-doc rsync curl libgnutls-dev libtool
python-dev libreadline-dev libusb-dev libgtk2.0-dev
=Now to get what we need from Git=
git clone git://git.marcansoft.com/usbmuxd.git
cd usbmuxd
cmake ~/usbmuxd
make && sudo make install
cd ~
git clone http://git.sukimashita.com/libimobiledevice.git
cd libimobiledevice
./autogen.sh
make && sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
cd ~
git clone http://github.com/boxingsquirrel/iDeviceActivator.git
cd iDeviceActivator
make && sudo make install
===Running=== /usr/local/bin/iDeviceActivator or Go to Applications->Accessories->iDeviceActivator
The UI is self-explanatory, with the exception of 'Make my life easier'. Simply put, this caches some important data ON YOUR MACHINE. This data allows you to get an activation record any number of times for a device if the initial activation was done with an official, legit sim. YOU WANT THIS!
