Unable to install cocoapods on Catalina

I have catalina OS 10.15.7 and XCode Version 12.4 (12D4e) I am trying to install cocoapods using gem:

sudo gem install cocoapods

And I am getting this error:

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
    You don't have write permissions for the /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/lib/ruby/gems/2.6.0 directory.

It has been a nightmare to resolve this. I tried using brew install. Brew is able to install it. But the pod does not work. when I use simple commands like

pod init
or 
pod -v

I am getting this error:

Open Terminal

curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

Then, close and reopen terminal

rvm install ruby-3.1.1

When finished, run:

rvm use ruby-3.1.1

And then:

rvm --default use 3.1.1

Next step, install cocoapods using:

sudo gem install cocoapods

I was able to resolve this issue by reinstalling Ruby/Rubygems and CocoaPods.

First, I followed Moncef Belyamani's thorough instructions for installing Ruby/Rubygems.

Next, I ran several commands:

gem install json
gem install CFPropertyList
gem pristine json --version 2.6.1

Per suggestion from here:

gem update --system 3.2.33

And I reinstalled CocoaPods:

brew uninstall cocoapods
brew cleanup -s
brew install cocoapods
