# Setup

**Manual Installation**

1. Download the project zip file from the [release section](https://github.com/truecaller/ios-sdk/releases)
2. Unzip the file
3. Copy the TruecallerSDK project files into your project ( TrueSDK directory, TrueSDKTests directory and TrueSDK.xcodeproj )
4. Drag and drop TrueSDK.xcodeproj into your project ( i.e. add it as a subproject to your main project ). Embedding it this way will not require any additional script to be run.
5. Add the TruecallerSDK framework ( from Products output of TrueSDK.xcodeproj ) into the Embedded Binaries section of the General tab of your target

**Installation with CocoaPods**

[CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org/) is a dependency manager which automates and simplifies the process of using 3rd party libraries.

You can install it with the following command:

```
$ gem install cocoapods
```

You can create your Podfile using the command ( in case you do not already have it ):

```
$ pod init
```

To integrate TruecallerSDK into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your `Podfile` :

```
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!

target 'TargetName' do
pod 'TrueSDK'
end
```

Then, run the following command:

```
$ pod install
```
