UNMAINTAINED: Support for this version of AltLinux is no longer being provided in favour of AltLinuxV2. Please join our discord for updates regarding the revamp.

AltLinux is a GUI for AltServer-Linux that allows to easily sideload apps onto an iPhone, an iPad, or an iPod Touch. It supports iOS 12.2 and later.

Features:

• A straightforward GUI
• A tray menu that works just like on Windows
• Sideloading AltStore
• Sideloading apps without AltStore
• While the tray icon is present, AltServer runs in the background in tethered mode
• Launching the tray icon on start-up

The program is in its very early state, so if you're experiencing issues or want to help, you can join the Discord server.

AltLinux is available for Ubuntu 22.04 and Ubuntu 20.04.

Derivatives, such as Linux Mint and Pop!_ OS should also work. To make sure which DEB package to pick, run the following command:

python3 --version

If you're running Ubuntu 22.04 or any distro based on it (such as Mint 21), install the DEB package from here.

If you're running Ubuntu 20.04 or any distro based on it (such as Mint 20), run the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apandada1/libhandy-1
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libhandy-1-0 libhandy-1-dev

Then you can install the DEB package from here.

If you use Arch Linux, you can use the AUR package.

There is also a git version of AltLinux available as an AUR package.

If you use Fedora, you can run the script without installing.
