Hello, Setup: iMac running Big Sur (Mac OS X 11.2.1) and Xcode 12.4 I’m trying to follow the [instructions](https://github.com/blokadaorg/blokada/blob/5/BUILDING.md). The issue occurs when I try to install cdbindgen: ``` bash-3.2$ cargo install cdbindgen Updating crates.io index error: could not find `cdbindgen` in registry `https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index` with version `*` ``` I had no issues installing rustup or \* cargo install cargo-make. I’m not sure how to proceed. Any ideas? Thanks! ---

Hi, It’s misspelled, see [https://crates.io/crates/cbindgen](https://crates.io/crates/cbindgen) Feel free to keep track of any issues you find along the way and make a PR ---

Hi @balboah, yep, that was it. I’ve been able to install cbindgen. Now, the new problem is with the Cocoapods step (which seems to be misspelled as well): `* in ios dir: pods install` It should be `pod install`, not `pods`. The error I get is: `[!] No Podfile found in the project directory.` Sure enough, no podfile exists in the `ios` directory that I can see. Any ideas? I’ll sure write my own Mac OS X revised installation guide once I get everything working. Thanks! ---

AFAIR we dropped the pods. You should be fine skipping this step. ---

Hello @Karol! Thank you. I’m collecting all the info along the way so that I can write a proper iOS installation guide. I still have other issues that are coming up as I go along. Should I continue the conversation on this thread, or would you guys prefer that I start a new one instead? (e.g. “iOS Installation Issues”) Thanks again! ---

You may start a new one. ---

Hi @tciuro I was wondering if you can share your guide for it? Thanks ---

Thanks but these instructions are not working e.g; now this project is not using Pod.
