I am trying to install cocoapods using:
sudo install cocoapods
this is what i am receiving back
usage: install [-bCcpSsv] [-B suffix] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode]
[-o owner] file1 file2
install [-bCcpSsv] [-B suffix] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode]
[-o owner] file1 ... fileN directory
install -d [-v] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] directory ...
This is my second attempt to install cocoapods. The first attempt to install failed and said I may need to install ruby-dev? I tried to install that then started receiving the above message.
Thank you! After using "gem" I ran into the following issue:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing cocoapods:

You might have to install separate package for the ruby development
environment, ruby-dev or ruby-devel for example.

I discovered that I needed to install some additional items from xcode using:
xcode-select --install
After about 20 minutes of installing and rebooting the computer i was then able to use:
sudo gem install cocoapods
