Answer 1

Hey I had the same problem that you have, I solve it following the next steps:

(I strongly recommend to use rvm to manage ruby versions)

1. Remove cocoapods using gem uninstall cocoapods
2. Install rvm, to do this I followed this steps https://rvm.io/rvm/install
3. After that reinstall cocoapods using gem install cocoapods
4. run pod setup

And after that everything works like a charm!.

You could notice that I didn't use sudo.

Hope it could helps you.

EDIT: If you have a slow internet connection it could take several minutes, to check the progress or steps use pod setup --verbose

Answer 2

I just ran this without doing any changes using rvm.

I do have rvm version: rvm 1.25.30 (stable).

Step 1: sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

Step 2: gem install cocoapods

Step 3: pod setup

Make sure not to install with sudo.

Answer 3

do this : sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
