CocoaPods-Documentation

Cocoa Pods Installation:


Do steps 1-4 if Cocoapods is not installed in your MAC Machine
1. sudo gem update --system 
   (to install Ruby)

2. ruby -v    
    (to check ruby version)

Note: If ruby version is less then use following commands

rm -rf ~/.rvm

curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable


3. (Install cocoa pods before installing pods)
sudo gem install cocoapods -V 

		or 

   sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods  
   (This is becauase of SIP in new MAC OSX)


4. pod setup  
   (after cocoapods is installed. This process will likely take a while as this command clones the CocoaPods Specs repository into ~/.cocoapods/ on your computer.)




Do steps from 5 if Cocoapods is already installed in your MAC Machine
5. Go to your project directory and run
	pod init

This will generate a file "PodFile"

6. Go to your project directory and run
	pod install

7. Now open new new file created  "YourProjectName.xcworkspace". Don't use "YourProjectName.xcodeproj" from now.

8. To add a GitHub library write below example in "PodFile"

pod 'Reachability'

And run pod install in terminal

Cocoa Pods Uninstallation:

Step 1) To check which versions of the cocoapds are installed on the local machine

        sudo gem list --local | grep cocoapods


        It will show somthing like this:

		cocoapods-deintegrate (1.0.1)
		cocoapods-downloader (1.1.3)
		cocoapods-plugins (1.0.0)
		cocoapods-search (1.0.0)
		cocoapods-stats (1.0.0)
		cocoapods-trunk (1.1.2)
		cocoapods-try (1.1.0)


Step 2) To uninstall each version we have to run the following commands

		It will uninstall the very first cocoa pods installed in the system:

        sudo gem uninstall cocoapods-deintegrate

        Similarly we have to repeat this process for each and every cocoa pods installed in the local system.
