Installation Instructions

1. If you don't have Cocoa Pods already installed, install it using sudo gem install cocoapods.

• You'll need to have RubyGems installed in order to install CocoaPods.

2. Once that is complete, install the Podfile by running pod install.
3. Enter an API key

• Create a project (or use an existing one) in the Cloud Console
• Enable billing and the Vision API.
• Create an API key, and save this for later
• More details can be found at getting_started_doc

4. Open the file CalPal.xcworkspace
5. In the xcode editor, create an api key file in the same directory as the remaining .swift files: click on the inner CalPal folder in the folder hierarchy, go to File > New > File ... then select Swift File and click Next. Name the file APIkey.swift and add the line let API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY" to the file.
