6. Configure Theos NIC templates

It is convenient for us to create various Theos projects because Theos NIC templates have 5

different Theos project templates. You can also get 5 extra templates from

https://github.com/DHowett/theos-nic-templates/archive/master.zip and put the 5 extracted

.tar files under “/opt/theos/templates/iphone/”. Some default values of NIC can be

customized, please refer to

http://iphonedevwiki.net/index.php/NIC#How_to_set_default_values.

3.2.3 Use Theos

1. Create Theos project

1. Change Theos’ working directory to whatever you want (like mine is

“/User/snakeninny/Code”), and then enter “/opt/theos/bin/nic.pl” to start NIC (New

Instance Creator), as follows:

snakeninnysiMac:Code snakeninny$ /opt/theos/bin/nic.pl

NIC 2.0 - New Instance Creator
