-bash: pod: command not found

Question

I am taking a course from Udemy for iOS 10 (swift 3) programming. An app works with Firebase and Firebase requires a pod file. In the course, it said to type the following commands in Terminal to install a pod:

          cd Desktop/
          ln
          cd dc-social
          ln
          pod init

But when I run the pod init command, it gives me an error:

      -bash: pod: command not found

I am running macOS Sierra (the final release). What should I do? Any help would be appreciated :) Thanks!

Answer 1

尝试先运行此命令（它将询问您的管理员密码）

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

Answer 2

I am in the same course and got the same problem. I found out that we have to install cocapods before we run that command. So do the following in your terminal (it will ask for your password):

sudo gem install cocoapods

This will install some stuff and then you will be able to run the "init pod command".

Answer 3

Maybe a little late, but often you can't do a sudo when your not an admin. Then do this, open the terminal. Change to an admin user with

su 'theadminName'

Type the admin password. Then do

sudo gem install cocoapods

Answer 4

getting errors with this command: sudo gem install cocoapods

brew install cocoapods => works for me
