This is my setup:

Mavericks 10.9.1 Xcode 5.0.2 which ruby returns this:

/Users/quique123/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin/ruby

but dvm install ruby returns: 

Already installed ruby-2.1.0. To reinstall use: rvm reinstall ruby-2.1.0

So doesn't this mean I have ruby 2.1.0?

gems list says I have installed cocoa pods & cocoapods-core 0.29.0 and some other gems.

After sudo gem install cocoa pods I get the bunch of fetches and change log and Successfully Installed cocoa pods 0.29.0. It then parses and installs documentation and when I run pod setup I got:

Setting up CocoaPods master repo Setup completed (read-only access)

So I created a file from a tutorial:

platform :iOS, '7.0' pod 'Mantle' pod 'TSMessages' pod 'ReactiveCocoa'

but when I run pod install I get:

/Users/myusername/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/dependency.rb:298:in `to_specs': Could not find 'cocoa pods' (>= 0) among 37 total gem(s) (Gem::LoadError) from /Users/quique123/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/dependency.rb:309:in `to_spec' from /Users/quique123/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_gem.rb:53:in `gem' from /Users/quique123/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin/pod:22:in `<main>'

How do I get the pod to install correctly and why am i getting messages of ruby 1.9.3?

  • Looks like you need to use something like rvm use and specify the version to your 2.1 version. Commented Jan 8, 2014 at 3:18

If you have rvm installed do not use sudo gem install cocoapods. It creates problems. Follow these steps to fix your cocoapods installation:

  1. Uninstall Cocoapods:

    sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

  2. Make sure you're on the latest Ruby:

    which ruby

  3. Install cocoapods without sudo:

    gem install cocoapods -V --no-ri --no-rdoc # V: Verbose; no-ri,no-rdoc: Do not install documentation

  4. Set up Cocoapods:

    pod setup

Should work now.

gives error installing: You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0 directory.
This solution is for users who have rvm installed (Ruby Version Manager)
