-bash: pod: command not found

I am taking a course from Udemy for iOS 10 (swift 3) programming. An app works with Firebase and Firebase requires a pod file. In the course, it said to type the following commands in Terminal to install a pod:

          cd Desktop/
          ln
          cd dc-social
          ln
          pod init

But when I run the pod init command, it gives me an error: 

      -bash: pod: command not found

I am running macOS Sierra (the final release). What should I do? Any help would be appreciated :) Thanks!

In my case I was unable to install with gem (sudo gem install cocoapods) but successfully installed with homebrew:

brew install cocoapods

Maybe a little late, but often you can't do a sudo when your not an admin. Then do this, open the terminal. Change to an admin user with

su 'theadminName'

Type the admin password. Then do 

sudo gem install cocoapods

I am in the same course and got the same problem. I found out that we have to install cocapods before we run that command. So do the following in your terminal (it will ask for your password):

sudo gem install cocoapods

This will install some stuff and then you will be able to run the "init pod command".

try to run this first (it will ask your admin password)

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