In the terminal, I get this error on the first step. trying sudo apt-get install.

sudo: apt-get: command not found

Can we get some better instructions on what is required to install and execute this project? I'm at a loss in understanding what is expected to already be in place and where we go to set up and install this package.

Thank you.

you don't need to run that command if you're on a mac, it literally says "ubuntu/debian" above the command

So, what do you do then?

There aren't specific instructions for what to do or not to do if attempting to install this from a Mac. Do the Debian instructions only pertain to the line below the comment or all the remaining lines?

Thank you for providing clarity.

Best way to make sure you have the latest code is by compiling all the dependencies yourself. As a matter of fact I created a build script for macOS:

mkdir -p limd-build
cd limd-build
curl -o ./limd-build-macos.sh -L https://is.gd/limdmacos
bash ./limd-build-macos.sh

That will build all the libimobiledevice libs and tools and install them in /usr/local prefix by default.

Thank you. That appeared to build. Now to go through the docs for how to use this. I hope it works on the iPad 4 with iOS 10.x.
