I'm setting up flutter on my machine. However when I try to install cocoapods by using
sudo gem install cocoapods
I get this error:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing cocoapods:

Is this caused by the fact that partition name contains 'space' in its name? My drive name on which OS is install is 'macOS Big Sur' while flutter resides on another partition which is 'macOS Storage'
Can someone please help?
This would be resolved by:
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods -v 1.8.4
If you needed to install CocoaPods 1.10.0 + you can use HomeBrew and use the command below in your command line:
brew install cocoapods
