Answer 1

replace this character " ‘ " with this " ' " in your podfile and try to install again.

it's happen to me when I copy pod line from somewhere else (like Evernote), some text editors automatically change this character. Usually it's like this :

pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 2.0'

but when I take from other editor, it could be like this :

pod ‘AFNetworking‘, ‘~> 2.0‘

Answer 2

Follow this steps:

1.open terminal.

2.pod setup // it's take some time to download podfiles

3.pod list //(optional)to see the list of pod

4.cd Desktop//(your project path)

5.cd CoacPods (your project name)

6.vim podfile

7.pod install

Answer 3

Check this out chmod go-w /opt/local/bin at a shell prompt (depending on permissions you may need to sudo to do that).
