When you get above error it means, you didn't do the pod setup

instructions:

1. First install the cocoapods in you Mac if it is not already installed. Use terminal.

   Xcode 7 + 8

   sudo gem install cocoapods --pre

   Xcode 7

   sudo gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6 sudo gem install cocoapods

2. Set up the pod using command pod setup

after doing these initial set up you are ready to make your project as work space project. You can follow these commands using terminal

1. Goto Project location folder : ~/Destop/SampleProject
2. Create pod file : pod init

3. List down your cocoa pods init it :

   # Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
   #platform :ios, '9.0'
   
   target 'SampleProject' do
   # Comment the next line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks
   use_frameworks!
   
   # Pods for SampleProject
   pod 'SlideMenuControllerSwift'
   
   
   target 'SampleProjectTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
   # Pods for testing
   end
   
   target 'SampleProjectUITests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
   end
   

   end

it will help you.

After installation of cocoapods than you can download the cocoa master repo manually into Mac.

    $ cd /Users/username/.cocoapods/repos 
    $ git clone https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git master
