pod install -bash: pod: command not found

Question

I installed pod some time ago. However, it\'s stopped working so I\'m working through this again.

Answer 1

Installing CocoaPods on OS X 10.11

Custom GEM_HOME

This is the solution when you are receiving above error

$ mkdir -p $HOME/Software/ruby
$ export GEM_HOME=$HOME/Software/ruby
$ gem install cocoapods
[...]
1 gem installed
$ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Software/ruby/bin
$ pod --version
0.38.2
