What happened instead?

Wrong Ruby interpreter

Failed to execute process '/usr/local/bin/pod'. Reason:
The file '/usr/local/bin/pod' specified the interpreter '/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/bin/ruby', which is not an executable command.

Solution

After googled and I found this issue #6778 suggested to re-install cocoapods, I just followed up and the problem still occurred. But I find the path of newly-installed pod is different than before, the new one is located in /usr/bin/pod but previous is located in /usr/local/bin/pod, So I just deleted the previous one and run pod install --verbose again and it did worked! I'm not very familiar with Ruby, could anyone explain me? Thanks!

BTW, I've disabled SIP by csrutil disable.

@JakubTudruj @satish1219 Just re-install didn't solve my problem and I've already figured out the solution posted in my origin comment. Thanks and keep this for others to search it : )

Had this issue after upgrading to macOS Catalina (trying to build a flutter app). Running sudo gem install cocoapods, and then flutter run worked.
