I had the same issue. I tried

sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

and then

sudo gem install cocoapods

but it wasn't working. It finally worked when I restarted Terminal after the uninstall. Then the install worked.

Answer 4

that's what worked for me:

1. Uninstall CocoaPods (choose to uninstall all versions):

   sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

2. Remove old master repo:

   sudo rm -fr ~/.cocoapods/repos/master

3. Update gems as user installed:

   sudo gem update --system --user-install

4. Add local gem path:

   echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/Users/%username%/.gem/ruby/2.0.0/bin"' >> ~/.bash_login

5. Install CocoaPods without sudo:

   gem install --user-install cocoapods

6. Setup CocoaPods and Master repo:

   pod setup

make sure you are not running no-sudo commands from sudo terminal window/tab and relaunch or add new tap after exporting path
