CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

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

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '10.0'
use_frameworks!

target '<Your Target Name>' do
    pod 'ChatViewController'
end

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.

You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:

$ brew update
$ brew install carthage

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

github "hoangtaiki/ChatViewController" ~> 1.2.0

Run carthage update to build the framework and drag the built ChatViewController.framework and PlaceholderUITextView.framework into your Xcode project.

Install with Swift Package Manager by adding the following to your Package.swift:

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/hoangtaiki/ChatViewController", from: "1.2.0"),
],
