Errors when installing cocoapods with gem

Question

I am using macOS Mojave and when I try to install cocoapods using gem I am getting the following error.

Building native extensions. This could take a whi

Answer 1

This helped/ worked for me like charm:

# brew cleanup -d -v    
# brew install cocoapods

P.S.: You should have Homebrew installed. You can use below command to install brew:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

Good luck :)
