You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:

$ brew update
$ brew install carthage

github "pidjay/AdvancedCollectionView" ~> 0.4

Run carthage update to build the framework and drag the built AdvancedCollectionView.framework into your Xcode project.

FAQ

Can I use any kind of layout with AdvancedCollectionView?

Sadly, no. The purpose of this library is to give more flexibility than with UICollectionViewFlowLayout, not to make a silver bullet to create any kind of layout.

When are features X, Y and Z going to be released?

I don't know. I'm working on this project on my free time and as such I cannot commit on any kind of schedule. But if you feel like it, you could take matters into your own hands and do a pull request.

Should I upgrade the framework to the latest version?

AdvancedCollectionView is using Semantic Versioning and as such it follows specific guidelines for adding, deprecating or removing new features, but also when making incompatible changes in the API. So, as long as the release is not MAJOR (first number in the version changing), you should be safe. You can read more about it on semver.org.
