Messing with my jailbroken iPhone CarPC

Notes that I took when messing with a jailbroken iPhone 4 ios 7.0.4 that I am using as a carpc / carputer / dashboard camera.

install python 2.7.2

You must have openssh and wget installed.

Connect into the iPhone via SSH and run the following commands:

car:~ wget https://yangapp.googlecode.com/files/python_2.7.2-5_iphoneos-arm.deb --no-check-certificate
car:~ dpkg -i python_2.7.2-5_iphoneos-arm.deb
car:~ root# python --version
Python 2.7.2

install virtualenv

wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/archive/cb01d9f9c8b6bc968d5e19cdc396e8e8a8bebb39.zip -O virtualenv.zip
unzip virtualenv.zip
cd virtualenv-*
python virtualenv.py ~/env
