Installation

You can install Cedar from source or using a pre-built distribution.

Quick install from source

• Install the Xcode command line tools package (Under the Preferences tab 'Downloads') if you haven't already done so.

• Run the following in a terminal:

    $ curl -L https://raw.github.com/pivotal/cedar/master/install.sh | bash
  

Manual install from source

This works the same as the Quick install method, but if you're paranoid about running arbitrary scripts you can follow this procedure instead:

• Install the Xcode command line tools package (Under the Preferences tab 'Downloads') if you haven't already done so.

• Clone the Cedar repository from github and initialize submodules:

    $ git clone https://github.com/pivotal/cedar.git && cd cedar
    $ git submodule update --init --recursive
  

• Build and install templates:

    $ ./installCodeSnippetsAndTemplates
  

• Restart Xcode

Installing a pre-built distribution

• Download the most recent build from the Downloads page

• Expand the tarball into your home directory:

    $ cd ~
    $ tar -zxvf ~/Downloads/Cedar-944ce03.tar.gz
  

• Restart Xcode

Verifying your installation

• Open an existing project and add a target to it
