Using Docker simplifies having all the required dependencies and tools (including most recent versions of libimobiledevice) readily installed. Note that this requires a Linux host, as Docker for Windows and Mac doesn't support passing through USB devices.

Install Docker following the official documentation.

Once Docker is installed, you can run MVT by downloading a prebuilt MVT Docker image, or by building a Docker image yourself from the MVT source repo.

Using the prebuilt Docker image

docker pull ghcr.io/mvt-project/mvt

You can then run the Docker container with:

docker run -it ghcr.io/mvt-project/mvt

Build and run Docker image from source

git clone https://github.com/mvt-project/mvt.git
cd mvt
docker build -t mvt .

Test if the image was created successfully:

docker run -it mvt

If a prompt is spawned successfully, you can close it with exit.
