Well the cocoapods is installed. But what was on the Pod file?

In the directory you have your pod file try "pod install" in the terminal. It should create the workspace and install all the dependancies

Hello I'm doing the Objective C CocoaPods tutorial and i'm stuck on exactly the same thing. Would you be able to help me with a simple step-by-step guide please?

I seem to have installed CocoaPods via the Terminal. The text read "installing CocoaPods" then, "CocoaPods 39.0 installed", I then closed the Terminal program. However, I didn't see the additional text below as shown in the video.

1) I opened up the "Example" Xcode project, then entered: pod 'SAMGradientView' into the podfile (within the project navigator).

2) I opened up the Terminal, then entered: "cd".

3) I then dragged the "Example" project file to the Terminal, then pressed enter. After pressing enter nothing happened. I expected to see some text below, as shown in the tutorial.

What have I done incorrectly?
