platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!

pod 'ImageLoader'

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Carthage

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that automates the process of adding frameworks to your Cocoa application.

You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:

To integrate ImageLoader into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:

github "hirohisa/ImageLoaderSwift" ~> 0.6.0
