# CocoaPods install guide

The AnyoneKit can be installed via [CocoaPods](https://cocoapods.org/) - a popular Swift / Objective-C dependancy manager. 

#### Initializing CocoaPods

From your Xcode project, first verify that CocoaPods is installed

```
pod --version
```

If this returns `Command Not Found: pod` you can install CocoaPods using Ruby

```
sudo gem install cocoapods
```

Once again, verify that you have a working pod version! From there, within your Xcode project directory, initialize CocoaPods:

```
pod init
```

This should create a file called `Podfile` in your working directory.

#### Importing AnyoneKit 

From the Podfile, within the **target** section, add the AnyoneKit pod (for now, the GitHub repo must be specified)

```ruby
target 'YourApp' do
  pod 'AnyoneKit', :git => 'https://github.com/anyone-protocol/AnyoneKit.git'
end
```

After these configurations are set, start the installation process

```
pod install
```

You should then be able to use. See some examples within the [GitHub repo](https://github.com/anyone-protocol/AnyoneKit/tree/pure_pod/Example) to explore more ahead of the official iOS SDK Release.
