Download the application. You can download the application from Google Code. The link to the application's newest version is available from iJailbreak.com. Select and begin the download.

Step 4
Connect your iPod Touch. Continue on with the process to make sure that the program downloaded correctly and is compatible with your machine and setting. When you're prompted to connect your iPod Touch do so and then click through the instructions to begin the "jail break" process. The process should take a few minutes if everything goes correctly.

Step 5
Finish up. To finish the download and set up process you should follow the final, post-jail break instructions, which includes turning the iPod Touch off and then restarting it. Go through with this process and then try installing some third party applications to make sure that the process and download did what they were supposed to.
