## What it is
SideStore and LiveContainer are currently the best way to sideload on iOS. However, there's one big
problem: installing them requires a PC, which many people don't have. That's why I made SideInstaller,
a free and open-source iOS app that installs them directly on your iPhone, no PC required.
SideInstaller handles the entire setup process on-device. It takes care of the pairing, provisioning, and
installation steps that normally force you to plug into a computer and run desktop tools, all from a single
app running on the phone itself. Once it's done, you get a fully working SideStore and LiveContainer
setup ready to sideload your own apps.
The whole thing is built to be simple. There's no complicated configuration, no command line, and no need
to understand how any of the underlying machinery works. You just open the app, follow a few steps, and let
it do the rest. For anyone who's ever wanted to sideload but didn't own a Mac or PC, this removes the
biggest barrier to getting started.
And because it's open source, you don't have to take my word for any of it. The full code is available for
anyone to read, audit, or contribute to, so you can see exactly what's running on your device.
## Requirements
- An iPhone or iPad on iOS 27+ (iOS 17.4+ if you have your pairing file)
- Wi-Fi (first time only)
- Your Apple account credentials (not collected)
## How to use it
1. Open the official install page and install the app using any
 of the certificates.
2. Once it's installed, open it.
3. Connect the device to LocalDevVPN (or any alternative)
4. Log in with your Apple account credentials.
5. Tap **Install SideStore** or **Install SideStore + LiveContainer**.
6. Wait while your selection installs.
7. That's it. No PC and no extra steps required.
