iOS Development-Tools: Cocoapods Use detailed instructions

I. Overview

During iOS development, many Third-party libraries are referenced in the project, and Cocoapods (https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods) can be used to facilitate the unified management of these third-party libraries.

Second, the installation

As the online tutorials are basically similar, but the details are not perfect, so the opportunity will be added here:

Note: To use cocoapods, it is necessary to download and install it, and the download installation cocoapods need ruby environment

1, Ruby Environment to build

The current installation environment is the Mac mini 10.8.5. Mac OS itself has Ruby, but it still updates the insurance because I failed the first time I installed it without updating Ruby.

A view the current Ruby version: Open the terminal input ruby-v (it was installed, but the next work failed with this version, so update ruby)

[OBJC] view plain copy print? Ritekimac-mini:podtest lucky$ ruby-v Ruby 1.8.7 (2012-02-08 patchlevel 358) [universal-darwin12.0] RitekiMac-mini:Pod Test lucky$
b Update Ruby

The terminal enters the following command (Point Ruby Mirror to Taobao, avoid being wall, you know)

Gem Sources--remove https://rubygems.org/
Gem Sources-a https://ruby.taobao.org/
Gem sources-l (used to check for success with alternate mirror location)

[OBJC] view plain copy print? ritekimac-mini:~ lucky$ gem sources--remove https://rubygems.org/https://rubygems.org/removed from sources Ritekima c-mini:~ lucky$ gem sources-a https://ruby.taobao.org/https://ruby.taobao.org/added to sources ritekimac-mini:~ ky$ Gem sources-l * * * Current SOURCES * * *

2. Download and install Cocoapods

Terminal input: sudo gem install cocoapods

[HTML]  View plain copy print? ritekimac-mini:~ lucky$ sudo gem install cocoapods      CHANGELOG:       ## 0.32.1      ##### bug fixes       * fixed the podfile  ' Default_subspec '  attribute in nested  subspecs.       [Fabio Pelosin][irrationalfab]    \ [# 2050] (https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/2050)          successfully  installed cocoapods-0.32.1   installing ri documentation for  cocoapods-0.32.1  /system/library/frameworks/ruby.framework/versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rdoc/ rdoc.rb:280: warning: conflicting chdir during another chdir block   /system/library/frameworks/ruby.framework/versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rdoc/rdoc.rb:287: warning: conflicting chdir during another chdir block   Done installing  documentation for cocoapods after 10 seconds   1 gem  installed  

So the download is installed Cocoapods
