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.

However, I almost immediately run into a problem here:

Answer 1

so I also had the same problem. This is probably happening because your computer has an older version of ruby. So you need to first update your ruby. Mine worked for ruby 2.6.3 version.I got this solution from sStackOverflow,

You need to first open terminal and put this code

curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

Then put this command

rvm install ruby-2.6

This would install the ruby for you if it hasn' t been installed.After this just update the ruby to the new version

rvm use ruby-2.6.3

After this just make ruby 2.6.3 your default

rvm --default use 2.6.3

This would possibly fix your issue. You can now put the command

sudo gem install cocoapods

And the command

pod setup

I hope this was useful

Answer 2

You have to restart Terminal after installing the gem. Or you can simply open a new tab Terminal to fix.

Answer 3

gterzian is on the right track, however, if you later update your version of ruby then you'll also have to update your .profile to point to the new versioned ruby directory. For instance, the current version of ruby is 2.0.0-p353 so you'd have to add /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.0.0-p353/bin to your path instead.

A better solution is to add /usr/local/opt/ruby/bin to your PATH. /usr/local/opt/ruby is actually a symlink to the current version of ruby that homebrew automatically updates when you do an upgrade. That way you'll never need to update your PATH and always be pointing to the latest version.

Answer 4

For macOS:

brew install cocoapods
brew cask install cocoapods-app

Answer 5

1. Uninstall all instances of cocopods by this command

   $sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
   

2. sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods

3. sudo chmod +rx /usr/local/bin/

Answer 6

If you used homebrew to install ruby, this answer worked for me.

brew unlink ruby && brew link ruby
