Trouble installing CocoaPods - already tried solution given elsewhere

I'm having trouble installing CocoaPods. I've already googled for a solution, and followed the answer in How do I select a project in my Podfile? I'm getting the error: Unable to find the Xcode project for the target 'Pods'. Can anyone say what I'm doing wrong?

In my case the error was because I had two .xcodeproj files in my Xcode project.

So the solution was remove the unnecessary .xcodeproj file and then doing again

pod install

Here's solution. In fact the solution has been shown clearly.

 Could not automatically select an Xcode project. Specify one in your Podfile like so:

xcodeproj 'path/to/Project.xcodeproj'

I couldn't understand the tips above.Later I got it.

First,you should run the terminal and cd into the directory of your project. Second,type "vim podfile" and run. Third, click button 'i' and change to editing mode. Fourth,now you can type 'xcodeproj projectname.xcodeproj' Then,click ESC and type ':wq'. It means save and quit. In the end,you retype 'pod install' and it will run normally.

I tried editing the file in vim, as in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_FbAlq2g9o, and that solved it. Hopefully knowing that is useful to others.
