Running wikiproxy manually

Legacy iOS Kit automatically uses wikiproxy when firmware keys are needed, so these steps are only required if you want to run wikiproxy manually (for example, when using another application that requires firmware keys).

Do not run wikiproxy manually if you will be using Legacy iOS Kit.

Running wikiproxy manually (Go)

1. Download wikiproxy for your platform and architecture here: https://github.com/LukeZGD/wikiproxy-go/releases
2. Extract the zip file and open a Terminal window.
3. cd to the extract location and run ./main
4. Leave wikiproxy running in that Terminal window.

Running wikiproxy manually (Python)

1. Install wikiproxy:

   python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/m1stadev/wikiproxy.git

   Alternatively, if you have pipx installed:

   pipx install git+https://github.com/m1stadev/wikiproxy.git

• Note: If you are using Python 3.8 or 3.9, or are running macOS 10.11 El Capitan, replace m1stadev with LukeZGD in the commands above.
  • The LukeZGD fork provides compatibility with older Python versions and legacy versions of macOS.
  • The LukeZGD fork is compatible with Python versions 3.8 to 3.13.

2. Start wikiproxy:

   wikiproxy

   If the command is not found, run:

   source ~/.profile

   If it is still not found, run it directly:

   ~/.local/bin/wikiproxy

3. Leave wikiproxy running in that Terminal window.
