pod install -bash: pod: command not found
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:
pod install
-bash: pod: command not found
Any suggestions why this happened?
OK, found the problem. I upgraded Ruby some time ago and blasted away a whole load of gems. Solution:
sudo gem install cocoapods
For none-sudo use:
export GEM_HOME=$HOME/.gem
export PATH=$GEM_HOME/bin:$PATH
gem install cocoapods --user-install
Installing CocoaPods on OS X 10.11
These instructions were tested on all betas and the final release of El Capitan.
Custom GEM_HOME
This is the solution when you are receiving above error
$ mkdir -p $HOME/Software/ruby
$ export GEM_HOME=$HOME/Software/ruby
$ gem install cocoapods
[...]
1 gem installed
$ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Software/ruby/bin
$ pod --version
0.38.2
This Step Is Proper Working.
Pod Install
[ 1 ] Open terminal and type:
sudo gem install cocoapods
Gem will get installed in Ruby inside the 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 the latest active support first by typing in the 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 cocoa pod installation is done. Next, you need to set up the cocoa pod master repo. Type in terminal:
pod setup
And wait it will download the master repo. The size is very big (370.0MB in Dec 2016). So it can be a while. You can track the download by opening Activity and go to the 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 a 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 on 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."
You have to restart Terminal after installing the gem. Or you can simply open a new tab Terminal to fix.
