Pod not found: Could not find 'cocoapods' (>= 0) among 64 total gem(s) (Gem::LoadError)

After installing cocoapods with sudo gem install cocoapods, attempting to run pod setup returns this error:

Could not find 'cocoapods' (>= 0) among 64 total gem(s) (Gem::LoadError)

Output from sudo gem install cocoapods:

CHANGELOG:

[CocoaPods](https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/compare/0.28.0...0.29.0)
• [CocoaPods-core](https://github.com/CocoaPods/Core/compare/0.28.0...0.29.0)
• [cocoapods-downloader](https://github.com/CocoaPods/cocoapods-downloader/compare/0.2.0...0.3.0)

[ bug/enhancement notes removed for brevity]

Successfully installed cocoapods-0.29.0
Parsing documentation for cocoapods-0.29.0
1 gem installed

When I list the gems installed, I do not see cocoapods listed among my Local Gems but I do see 'pod' listed in /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.0.0-p0/bin.

System Configuration:

Mac OS 10.9 (upgraded from 10.8)
Xcode: 5.0.2 (upgrade from 4.x)
Ruby path: /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.0.0-p0

How can I get cocopods to work for me?

you do not need to install cocapods using sudo

try:

gem install cocoapods

then:

pod

to check if it runs fine

Uninstalling and reinstalling CocoaPods from the Terminal fixed the issue for me (see the CocoaPods documentation for more information):

gem uninstall cocoapods
gem install cocoapods

Try:

sudo pod setup

Since you installed cocoapods as supervisor (sudo), there are files that supervisor can see that you can not.

This also means that after you add a pod to a podFile, you'll also need to run

sudo pod install

instead of

pod install

It ultimately might be better to undo the sudo install of cocoa pods and use RVM.

With RVM you can have different versions of gem sets (including different versions of cocoapods, if required). By going this route, you can then bypass having to run pod commands as sudo.
