  github "FabrizioBrancati/BFKit"
  

• Open Terminal, go to project directory and type: carthage update

• Include the created Framework in your project

• Add Build Phase with the following contents:

  /usr/local/bin/carthage copy-frameworks
  

  Add the paths to the Queuer framework under Input Files

  $(SRCROOT)/Carthage/Build/iOS/BFKit.framework
