These instructions expect that you are familiar with the linux commandline.
35+
36+
1. Extract the Jitterbug zip file, and open a terminal (if you haven't already) to the extracted directory.
37+
2. In that terminal, run `chmod +x ./jitterbugpair`
38+
3. Plug your device into your computer, and open your device to its home screen. Once done, execute the program in your terminal with `./jitterbugpair`
39+
* If you get a prompt saying you need to trust the computer from your iDevice, make sure to do so. You may need to rerun jitterbugpair.
40+
4. Once it is done, you will get a file that ends with `.mobiledevicepairing` in the directory you ran jitterbugpair from.
41+
5. Transfer this file to your device in a way of your choosing.
42+
* Transferring using cloud storage may change the file's extension (most likely turning into a .txt file), so be careful. It is also possible to change the extension to `.plist` for use with older SideStore versions, like `0.1.1`.

You might have success with just adding execute permissions and running jitterbugpair from a file manager, but it is recommended to just do it from the terminal.
