Installing CocoaPods: no response

Question

Trying to install CocoaPods from the terminal:

$ sudo gem install cocoapods

After entering my root password, nothing happens.

How can I debug that?

Sounds like you should check out RVM or rbenv for managing Ruby stuff. The Ruby support that ships with OS X seems quite slow with stuff like that. — Keith Smiley, Jan 17 '13 at 14:04

For others wondering the same, installing the gem takes forever. If you run:

export GEM_HOME=~/.gems
export PATH=$GEM_HOME/bin:$PATH

gem install cocoapods -V

Installing with flag V enables verbose output which will let you see all the output as it is going through the download and install, it's quite a lot.

Also, updating the package manager seems to speed things up alot. `sudo gem update --system` – Alex May 29 '13 at 09:43

Ah... that's the best suggestion. – Schultz9999 Jul 28 '13 at 21:44

Just a note for **-V** (it is in uppercase) :D – onmyway133 Nov 06 '13 at 07:10
instead of **-V** you can use **--verbose** – Hashem Aboonajmi Jan 25 '14 at 16:39

This verbose option should be on by default... I aborted the install three times before I found this post :~ – Nicolas Miari Mar 26 '14 at 03:11

@NicolasMiari I agree! – Alex Mar 26 '14 at 09:30
@NicolasMiari If you are used to a *Nix OS you would not be complaining :) – GoodSp33d Jun 19 '14 at 16:46

Great answer. I would have never figured out it was working otherwise. Just curious. Anyone know why its so full of 302 redirects? – Nathan Kellert Dec 17 '14 at 00:38
Thanks. I had also given up, and kept quitting, as nothing appeared. Remind me again, what year is this...? – Mike Gledhill Jul 14 '15 at 18:48

update gem to the newest release using

sudo gem update --system and it should work a bit faster

I had to wait at least 5 minutes before:

Building native extensions. This could take a while...

You should do it in two separated commands:

First:

gem update

Then:

export GEM_HOME=~/.gems
export PATH=$GEM_HOME/bin:$PATH

gem install cocoapods

It's not stuck, it's downloading file for ruby from the internet. you can check this by following below steps:

Open Activity Monitor
Select Network option
Check below Google Chrome. (ruby downloading)

Try Installing latest Git version from

https://git-scm.com/downloads

This worked for me

Write the following commands in Terminal:

export GEM_HOME=~/.gems
export PATH=$GEM_HOME/bin:$PATH
gem install cocoapods
Set the path of the project with the command cd path/to/project
pod init
Open podfile
Add appropriate pod
pod install
