A couple of facts before you begin downloading:

1. iOS 8 would have lot of bugs and you may face troubles while using your phone.
2. Backup your phone before updating just in case there are problems later.

And just in case you forget, iOS 8 is compatible with:

• iPhone 4s and later
• iPad 2 and later
• iPad Mini & iPad Mini with retina display
• iPod Touch 5th Generation

Before beginning the process, do note that this process can be performed without the need of a UDID, that is, you can install iOS 8 on your device without using UDID. In other words you don't need a developer friend or you don't need to buy a UDID online via various websites. You can just install iOS 8 without UDID registration.

STEPS TO INSTALL iOS 8 ON YOUR DEVICE 

Step 1: Open iTunes.
Step 2: Connect your iDevice with Mac via USB .
Step 3: Restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to iOS 7.1.1 via iTunes, then set it as a new iPhone.
Step 4: Hold SHIFT and left click on “Check for Updates” on iTunes, then locate the iOS 8 beta 1 folder which you downloaded above. Wait for few minutes and enjoy iOS 8


Note: As someone on reddit pointed out, DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE OR LET IT REBOOT ITSELF! App crashes are fine, but if the springboard (home-screen) crashes, it cannot re-spring itself, so has to reboot! Be very careful. Unless of course your UDID is registered!
