If you benefit from web2py hope you feel encouraged to pay it forward by contributing back to society in whatever form you choose!

Requirements :

- Ipad 2 (Should work with Ipad 1 too !) with Jailbreak.
- Cydia
- Python
- Web2py
- Access to Internet

Step 1:

Jailbreak your device, for some versions of the iOS its really easy, you can visit www.jailbreakme.com .

If your version its not supported, you will to google a little bit.

Step 2:

Open Cydia (installed by default when you Jailbreak the Ipad)

Choose the Developer Mode

and install the following packages :

- python
- Iphone/Python
- OpenSSH
- wget
- unzip

Don't worry for the dependencies, Cydia uses the Debian Package System.

Step 3:

Go to the App Store and install iSSH. In Cydia you also can install a Terminal emulator, but it does not support multitask.

Step 4:

Open iSSH, and create a new conection :

root@localhost

The default password is: "alpine", its a good idea to change it.

Step 5:

In the terminal write the following:
 

cd /
wget http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/web2py_src.zip
unzip web2py_src.zip
cd web2py
./web2py


By default the web2py webserver will start in the port 8000

Step 6:

Open Safari and enter the following url :

http://localhost:8000


Step 7:

Have Fun !
