pod 'SwiftSocket' doesn't work when I try to install github swiftsocket

I downloaded github swiftsocket and tried to run it on my iphone and ipod.
Xcode successfully built it but it wouldn't run -- nothing happened.

So then I followed the github "Installation" section:...
pod 'SwiftSocket' ...but got: -bash: pod: command not found

I then tried: sudo gem install cocoapods

...but got:
