cocoapods Getting started with cocoapods Getting Started

Example

Lets start installing the popular library Alamofire to our Xcode project!

Lets first install CocoaPods by using the command:

[sudo] gem install cocoapods

Then let's create a new project in Xcode called Start! Navigate to the folder that contains the .xcodeproj and create a new text file called podfile!

Replace the podfile with the following:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '10.0'
use_frameworks!

target 'start' do
    pod 'Alamofire', '~> 4.3'
end

Use the cd command to change to the directory containing the .xcodeproj and issue the command pod install. Alamofire is installed in the project 'start'!

Now, double-click the xcworkspace file (not .xcodeproj) and use Alamofire!
