I have been trying to install cocoapods but I keep getting an error. I have tried the following commands and get the same result.

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

After a lot of searching I finally came across a solution that I believe works. If you are use Mac OS Catalina you need to use Brew.

  1. Open Terminal on your Mac.

  2. Now, run

    ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" < /dev/null 2> /dev/null

  3. Install cocoapods using brew

    brew install cocoapods

cocoapods is ready to use now!

If you already have installed Homebrew you can skip step 2.
