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

OK, found the problem. I upgraded Ruby some time ago and blasted away a whole load of gems. Solution:

sudo gem install cocoapods

Answer 2

This solution worked for me. Make sure to not miss the last command (export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Software/ruby/bin).

See This.

Answer 3

In terminal it's better to run installation of the cocoa pods with "sudo". In other case I'm getting an error: "You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0 directory."

So the solution is:

sudo gem install cocoapods

Answer 4

Try this:

sudo gem install cocoapods -V

and you must update gem to the newest release using this:

sudo gem update --system 

if you want to enjoy the fast responce :)

Answer 5

I'm using OS Catalina and used the solution of Babul Prabhakar. But when I closed the terminal, pod still was unable.

So I put the exports:

$ export GEM_HOME=$HOME/Software/ruby
$ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Software/ruby/bin

inside this file(put this command below inside the terminal):

nano ~/.bash_profile

Then save the file, close the terminal and open it up again and type:

pod --version

Answer 6

This Step Is Proper Working.

POD Install

[ 1 ] Open terminal and type:

sudo gem install cocoapods

Gem will get installed in Ruby inside System library. Or try on 10.11 Mac OSX El Capitan, type:

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

If there is an error "activesupport requires Ruby version >= 2.xx", then install latest activesupport first by typing in terminal.

sudo gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6

[ 2 ] After installation, there will be a lot of messages, read them and if no error found, it means cocoapods installation is done. Next, you need to setup the cocoapods master repo. Type in terminal:

pod setup

And wait it will download the master repo. The size is very big (370.0MB at Dec 2016). So it can be a while. You can track of the download by opening Activity and goto Network tab and search for git-remote-https. Alternatively you can try adding verbose to the command like so:

pod setup --verbose

[ 3 ] Once done it will output "Setup Complete", and you can create your XCode project and save it.

[ 4 ] Then in terminal cd to "your XCode project root directory" (where your .xcodeproj file resides) and type:

pod init

[ 5 ] Then open your project's podfile by typing in terminal:

open -a Xcode Podfile

[ 6 ] Your Podfile will get open in text mode. Initially there will be some default commands in there. Here is where you add your project's dependencies. For example, in the podfile, type

/****** These are Third party pods names ******/
pod 'OpenSSL-Universal'
pod 'IQKeyboardManager'
pod 'FTPopOverMenu'
pod 'TYMActivityIndicatorView'
pod 'SCSkypeActivityIndicatorView'
pod 'Google/SignIn'
pod 'UPStackMenu'

(this is For example of adding library to your project).

When you are done editing the podfile, save it and close XCode.

[ 7 ] Then install pods into your project by typing in terminal:

pod install

Depending how many libraries you added to your podfile for your project, the time to complete this varies. Once completed, there will be a message that says

"Pod installation complete! There are X dependencies from the Podfile and X total pods installed."
