cocoapods, Gem::FilePermissionError

I am on Mac version 10.11.3 OS X El Capitan I am facing following error while updating cocoapods to latest version.

You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0 directory.

enter image description here

I also tried:

sudo gem install cocoapods -pre

Starting with El Capitan, Apple prevents user applications to modify /usr/bin for security reasons. So just install/update rubygems in the recommended folder, /usr/local/bin:

sudo gem install cocoapods -n /usr/local/bin --pre

Since you installed the beta version, I don't recommend installing with

sudo gem install cocoapods -pre

if you use -pre you gonna install the beta version, Instead, use

sudo gem installcocoa pods

Your main problem is that, and you didn't use sudo to give the necessary permissions.

You don't have permissions to install gems. You had to use sudo before so now your permissions aren't correct.

Easy solution:

Run this command with sudo:

sudo gem install cocoapods -pre

Better solution - install cocoapods for this user only:

gem install --user-install cocoapods -pre

Another solution - fix your permissions: 

sudo chown -R YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_GROUP ~/.rvm
sudo chown -R YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_GROUP ~/.gem

or

sudo rvm fix-permissions YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_GROUP
