## Installation
### CocoaPods
[CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org) is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:
```bash
$ gem install cocoapods
```
> CocoaPods 1.1.0+ is required to build SnapKit 4.0.0+.
To integrate SnapKit into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your `Podfile`:
```ruby
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '10.0'
use_frameworks!
target '' do
pod 'SnapKit', '~> 5.0.0'
end
```
Then, run the following command:
```bash
$ pod install
```
### Carthage
[Carthage](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage) is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.
You can install Carthage with [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) using the following command:
```bash
$ brew update
$ brew install carthage
```
To integrate SnapKit into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your `Cartfile`:
```ogdl
github "SnapKit/SnapKit" ~> 5.0.0
```
Run `carthage update` to build the framework and drag the built `SnapKit.framework` into your Xcode project.
### Manually
If you prefer not to use either of the aforementioned dependency managers, you can integrate SnapKit into your project manually.

## Usage
### Quick Start
```swift
import SnapKit
class MyViewController: UIViewController {
lazy var box = UIView()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.view.addSubview(box)
box.snp.makeConstraints { (make) -> Void in
make.width.height.equalTo(50)
make.center.equalTo(self.view)
}
}
}
```
