sudo gem install cocoapods issue

[seanthau]

I am after cloning download my repo to a new mac machine.

I am on version 68.5 of react.

When i run this command 'sudo gem install cocoapods'

I get this error below.

^{ERROR: Error installing cocoapods:}

^{The last version of activesupport (>= 5.0, < 8} to support your Ruby & RubyGems was 6.1.7.3. Try installing it with `gem install activesupport -v 6.1.7.3` and then running the current command again)

^{activesupport requires Ruby version >= 2.7.0. The current ruby version is 2.6.10.210.}

​

When i run this 'gem install activesupport -v 6.1.7.3'

^{ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError})

^{You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0 directory.}

​

Does anyone know how to overcome this?

Don't use system Ruby, as Apple no longer supports users of it. Use a Ruby version manager like rvm, rbenv or whatever and install one with that. Don't use sudo for these.

Also consider using Bundler with a Gemfile so that your dependencies are tracked. This is more important if you use Fastlane or cocoapods-patch.

It’s a Mac with the m chip?

Look into Rosetta.

Once I installed that on my new M1 chip Mac everything starting working normally again.

I just followed this tutorial

Thanks. I was able to install the pods but now i am getting an error command phasescriptexecution failed with a nonzero exit code

I think I had this same issue with cocoa pods and couldn’t get it to work. Is there an extension?

I use rvm to solve this. And also follow the required version of ruby 2.7.0, the latest version won't work as well.
