Cocoapods: Error installing cocoapods: activesupport requires Ruby version >= 2.2.2

[SSteve]

I'm unable to install CocoaPods. I get the error "activesupport requires Ruby version >= 2.2.2". I'm running OS X 10.10.5.

$ which ruby
/Users/steve/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.2/bin/ruby
$ ruby --version
ruby 2.1.2p95 (2014-05-08 revision 45877) [x86_64-darwin13.0]

Looks like you'll need to install a 4.x version of active support?

[SSteve]

It seems more like a problem with rvm. After executing rvm use system, the installation worked even though the system Ruby is 2.0.0.

Facing the same problem when installing cocoa pods on Mac OSX 10.11.4

[Tulleb]

Same problem on Mac OSX 10.11.5.

See CocoaPods/Xcodeproj#393

You can work around this by manually installing a compatible activesupport first:

[sudo] gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6

[Tulleb]

I installed the Ruby 2.2 version instead...

rvm install 2.2
rvm use 2.2

[yilufeng0]

You just need to update your ruby version, and use the version bigger than 2.2.2

rvm install 2.2.5
sudo gem install cocoapods

for me this two works ! !

[Ajmalajji]

This worked for me

sudo gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6
sudo gem install cocoapods

[LeeWiHong]

@Ajmalajji
sudo gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6
sudo gem install cocoapods
Also worked for me

[Jerry-Lau]

@neonichu thanks, this helped me!

Hi everyone
i had same problem with OS X 10.11.5. I had update ruby to 2.3.1 but same error

I used:
sudo gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6
sudo gem install cocoa pods

and it goes :)

[segiddins]

This has been addressed in the 1.1 beta as well

[akirna]

I also had to include (for OS X 10.11.5):
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods

...as mentioned by Srikanth Suryawanshi on the Google Developer Cocoapods video

[HarveyZhang360]

[sudo] gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6
[sudo] sudo gem install cocoapods

This works for me. Thanks.

[Ellz27]

sudo gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6
sudo gem install cocoapods

It works.Thank you for the help.

[cameron-badgley]

sudo gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6
sudo gem install cocoapods

This worked for me as well. I received one warning while installing activesupport, but it didn't prevent the gem from installing:
unable to convert "x84" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8 for lib/active_support/values/unicode_tables.dat

[xyloweb]

I try
sudo gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6
sudo gem install cocoapods

macbookpro-472d:~ jmm$ sudo gem install cocoapods
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EPERM)

[xyloweb]

With
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
it works great !

[yadhilho]

sudo gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6

Brittle. 👎 Things were working fine without any changes to my Gemfile.lock before this started showing up recently.

[karunhappy]

sudo gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6
sudo gem install cocoapods

[jettandres]

@neonichu 's solution also worked for me. Thank you!

[sudo] gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6

[RobertSosa]

I tried using

sudo gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6
sudo gem install cocoapods

But I keep Getting

[RobertSosa]

Worked like a charm

[jemsnaban]

'

[5uper0]

Right, guys. Had the same Error: requires Ruby version >= 2.2.2. I made:
gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6

And after that begins to install CocoaPods, but I had the same as last problem:

While executing gem ... (Errno::EPERM)
Operation not permitted - /usr/bin/fuzzy_match

[dmitriyborodko]

@5uper0 try:
sudo gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6

[MaeseppTarvo]

sudo gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6 worked.

[5uper0]

@dmitriyborodko, thanks! I made
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
and installed 12 gems, and then made
sudo gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6
with this message

[kameroli]

[neelpatel05]

I got this ERROR.

[carloser200]

oh, it is working . Thanks.

[alirp88]

It still has the problem, if you want to fresh install cocoapods

[alirp88]

After I run "sudo gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6", cocoapods installed

[thufaili]

sudo gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6
sudo gem install cocoapods

worked!! Thank you man

[orta]

I've mentioned this on the front page of http://cocoapods.org too

[ariessanchezsulit]

Both solution works for me (different machines)

• non rvm machine
  sudo gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6
  sudo gem install cocoapods
• with rvm machine
  rvm install 2.2
  rvm use 2.2

[endocrimes]

Given that this issue has been fixed on master, the fix is well documented on CocoaPods.org and the issues, I'm going to lock this issue now.
