Getting Started with CUSLayout
This is a guide to help developers get up to speed with CUSLayout. It is geared primarily towards anyone who is new to Mac or iOS development, or has not worked extensively with 3rd-party libraries before.
CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Objective-C, which automates and simplifies the process of using 3rd-party libraries like CUSLayout in your projects.
CocoaPods is distributed as a ruby gem, and is installed by running the following commands in Terminal.app:
$ sudo gem install cocoapods
$ pod setup
Depending on your Ruby installation, you may not have to run as
sudoto install the cocoapods gem.
Project dependencies to be managed by CocoaPods are specified in a file called Podfile. Create this file in the same directory as your Xcode project (.xcodeproj) file:
$ touch Podfile
$ open -e Podfile
TextEdit should open up showing an empty file. You just created the pod file and opened it! Ready to add some content to the empty pod file?
Copy and paste the following lines into the TextEdit window:
platform :ios
pod 'CUSLayout'
Make sure the quotes are straight, not slanted/apostrophes. If TextEdit gives you trouble, use Sublime or copy/paste the code above instead of typing it in.
Now you can install the dependencies in your project:
$ pod install
From now on, be sure to always open the generated Xcode workspace (.xcworkspace) instead of the project file when building your project:
$ open <YourProjectName>.xcworkspace
At this point, everything's in place for you to start using CUSLayout. Just #import the headers for the classes you need and get to it!
You can find even more articles like this one on the wiki. You'll also want to keep a link to the documentation handy while you're working on your app.
