 – Windows/Mac Guide :

• Extract the downloaded package, and run Absinthe.
• Connect your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 via USB cable.
• Once Absinthe detects your device, hit “Jailbreak” to begin the process.
• The tool will take quite a while on start, after which your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 will look like it’s restoring from a backup. The process can take quite a while, so remain patient.
• Once Absinthe has completed its processing, come back to your device. You’ll notice an Absinthe icon on Springboard. Simply tap it.
• The greenpois0n website will load, after which your device will reboot.
• As soon as your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 is back on, you’ll notice that the Absinthe icon has been replaced with Cydia!

That’s it folks – you now hold a jailbroken iPhone 4S or iPad 2, untethered and restriction free!

– Linux Guide :

Step 1: If you haven’t already, install the libimobiledevice package on your Linux distribution. This will allow Linux to talk to your iPad 2, iPhone 4S, and other iOS devices.

Installing this package is fairly easy. I’m on Ubuntu, and all I did was the following:

• In terminal type: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pmcenery/ppa
• accept any warnings and install.
• Next type: sudo apt-get update
• Visit the Ubuntu software center and search for libimobiledevice, and install libimobiledevice-utils. It might then ask you to reboot. Do so, and upon reboot Linux should recognize your device.

Again, this could differ depending on your Linux distro, so just take this as a loose guide. For other distributions or more information, visit http://www.libimobiledevice.org/

Step 2: Download Absinthe v0.3 from below and unpack on your desktop.

Step 3: If you’re on a x86 machine double click absinthe.x86, if you’re on a 64-bit machine (likely) double click absinthe.x86_64 to run Absinthe.

Step 4: Ensure that your device is powered on, and that Absinthe detects your device, then click Jailbreak.

Step 5: Let Absinthe finish the entire process, no user intervention is needed until then end. Once the loading bar is complete, find the Absinthe icon on your iDevice’s Home screen, and launch it to complete the jailbreak.

Step 6: Once your device reboots, you should see the Cydia icon on your desktop.

That’s it folks, easy peezy.

If you’re a Linux user, by all means sound off in the comments about Absinthe, jailbreaking, and iOS support in Linux in general, we’re interested in hearing your perspective on things.
