   Open Settings.
   
   Scroll down and tap Touch ID & Passcode (or simply Passcode).
   
   Enter your passcode.

   Doing so will take you to a page with links for different operating systems:
   Mac OS X Windows Linux (32 bit) Linux (64 bit) , These links are located near the top of the page; clicking one will prompt a ZIP file with the jailbreak installer in it to download to your computer's desktop., Doing so will open it.
   
   You'll see several files inside, but the only one you need is the one labeled "Impactor" under the file type "Application"., This will launch an installer; you'll need to wait for a few minutes until the installer finishes loading its files., This file has an iTunes logo on it., Do so in the pop-up window.,, Make sure that this is the same password you use to log into iCloud or the App Store.
   
   You may need to generate an app-specific password if you are getting error messages:
   Go to the Apple ID website.
   
   Log in with your Apple ID and password.
   
   Click Generate Password... under "APP-SPECIFIC PASSWORDS." Enter a label (such as "jailbreak") and click Create.
   
   Copy the password that appears and use it in Impactor when it asks for a password. , The installation process will likely take a few minutes. , This app is black and grey with a human face on it.
   
   You'll see it on the Home Screen., It's in the middle of the screen.
