When i type \"pod install\" in a correct directory I always get this
Analyzing dependencies

Did you include the entire ALCameraViewController repository in your project folder? I did that initially, and I got the same error. Go back to the repo and follow the README.md file step by step.
If you did include the entire repo, I would also advise to remove all the folders that you included in your project that came from the ALCameraViewController repo. Then try to install the repo in the Podfile again, the error should be gone.
