Cocoapods: "pod: command not found" after installing on OS X El Capitan Beta 2

[danielbyon]

Trying to setup an OS X Server Mac Mini with El Capitan Beta 2 so I can try out the new Xcode server stuff. I'm able to run "sudo gem install cocoapods", and it seems to install everything properly without errors, but when I run "pod setup" I get the command not found error. Happens even after closing the current Terminal window and opening a new one.

Is there an issue specific to the 10.11 beta? I've been able to install cocoapods on my other macs (albeit I installed cocoapods way before I installed the 10.11 beta on those machines)

[segiddins]

What's the output of gem list ?

[leoMehlig]

I have the same problem.
cocoa pods gets install just fine and its also in the gem list, but I can't call any commands.

[neonichu]

See https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/3692#issuecomment-113847612, binstubs are installed in a directory that is not part of the standard PATH when using OS X 10.11

[MarsCWD]

i have got the same problem...oh no ...

[yanko]

I tried the #3690 but it still not finding the pod command line. tells me it does not exist.

[remirobert]

Same issue here. :-1:

[wieseljonas]

Same for me

[neonichu]

Piling on doesn't really help anyone — you have to tell us what you tried and why that didn't work for you.

[mgmart]

Got the same problem after upgrading to 10.11

gem install cocoapods solved it for me.

[richardgroves]

Update with solution:

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

will install 'pod' to a writeable place. From http://stackoverflow.com/a/32883578/701926 - give him an upvote if it helps you.

Original problem:

Same here - trying to re-install cocoapods fails:

richard$ pod install
-bash: pod: command not found
richard$ sudo gem install cocoapods
Password:
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EPERM)
Operation not permitted - /usr/bin/pod

I suspect it is related to:

http://arstechnica.co.uk/apple/2015/09/os-x-10-11-el-capitan-the-ars-technica-review/8/#h1

which would block an install to /usr/bin - should be to /usr/local/bin

Trying it without 'sudo' in case it then finds local places to install fails too:

richard$ gem install cocoapods
Fetching: cocoapods-0.38.2.gem (100%)
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0 directory.

[neonichu]

@richardgroves interesting, I guess there's a problem with existing installations in the El Capitan Ruby there. Could you try uninstalling and then reinstalling CocoaPods?

[MarsCWD]

I have solved this problem. http://www.jianshu.com/p/c2624f916957?utm_campaign=hugo&utm_medium=reader_share&utm_content=note

[richardgroves]

@neonichu - Installing El Capitan wipes out the old version of cocoapods - the Ars Technica article has a link to where it 'migrates' all the files it finds in places it didn't like.

Hmmm....looks like the old versions are there - just the front end 'pod' launcher that got wiped:

richard$ pod --version
0.38.2
richard$ sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

Select gem to uninstall:

1. cocoapods-0.32.1
2. cocoapods-0.33.1
3. cocoapods-0.34.1
4. cocoapods-0.35.0
5. cocoapods-0.35.0.rc2
6. cocoapods-0.36.3
7. cocoapods-0.37.1
8. cocoapods-0.37.2
9. cocoapods-0.38.0
10. cocoapods-0.38.2
11. All versions

10
Successfully uninstalled cocoapods-0.38.2
richard$ which pod
/usr/local/bin/pod
richard$ pod --version
0.38.0

So after uninstalling the 0.38.2 I still have the previous one working.

and then a straight install to get back to the latest fails:

richard$ sudo gem install cocoapods
Fetching: cocoapods-0.38.2.gem (100%)
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EPERM)
Operation not permitted - /usr/bin/pod
richard$ which pod
/usr/local/bin/pod

leaving me at 0.38.0 until I use the '-n /usr/local/bin' positioning argument.

@MarsCWD - that will work (disabling the whole SIP system) but is a bit heavy handed.

[neonichu]

@richardgroves I can't reproduce this, if I uninstall all existing CP installations on OS X 10.11 and then reinstall, /usr/local/bin is used automatically.

[remirobert]

when i want reinstall cocoapods i got his :

sudo gem install cocoapods

ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'cocoapods' (>= 0), here is why:
          Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/ - Errno::ECONNRESET: Connection reset by peer - SSL_connect (https://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)

[richardgroves]

@neonichu Interesting - I wonder if there is a config setting in Ruby gems that indicates where to put things? The machine I'm on has also done updates from several previous OS X versions so might have inherited an install location from an old version?

[neonichu]

@richardgroves yah, I am assuming that is the case. I have updated the instructions in this comment to reflect the -n workaround if that happens. Thanks for reporting!

[MVakas]

Try the following command on OS X El Capitan
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods

[TTVS]

thanks for your suggestion @MVakas. It solved the issue for me

[benjaminhorner]

@MVakas : thanks !! worked like a charm !
Guess we can close the issue.

[darioalessandro]

I just installed el capitan and ran into the same issue than you guys.

I did as @MVakas said, but I had to change permissions of /usr/local/bin/

with sudo chmod +rx /usr/local/bin/

[sicaboy]

After running this command, solved
sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/local/bin

[richardgroves]

The config problem appears to be in /Library/Ruby/Site/2.0.0/rubygems/defaults.rb - around line 118:

#

# The default directory for binaries

def self.default_bindir
if defined? RUBY_FRAMEWORK_VERSION then # mac framework support
'/usr/bin'
else # generic install
RbConfig::CONFIG['bindir']
end
end

it is setting up what is basically a not-allowed in OS X 10.11 directory to install binaries too. I'm on Ruby 2.0.0, so don't know if this is changed in the newer 2.2.3 build. The folder was the same back in 1.8 - http://stackoverflow.com/a/333639/701926

[neonichu]

Interesting, that configuration file doesn't even exist on my 10.11 installation. Maybe it's an upgrade leftover in certain situations?

[richardgroves]

Just updated to 2.2.3 using brew & rbenv - so that has moved everything into a local folder in my user account which should solve future problems. Here's hoping the bad bindir setup is some legacy issue that will fade out rapidly.

[neonichu]

I have filed a radar on this: http://www.openradar.me/22979372 — but pretty sure nothing will come out of it because it is way too vague.

[neonichu]

Got a reply for the radar:

We need more information to investigate this issue.

What is your RubyGems version? If you've installed a newer version then it won't install into /usr/local/bin unless you use
-n /usr/local/bin
The rubygems shipped with El Capitan will report
$ gem env
...

• EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /usr/local/bin
  ...

Please provide your response or results by updating your bug report.

Could y'all check your gem env and verify if you updated RubyGems?

[Bizzi-Body]

Gems version...
RUBY VERSION: 2.0.0 (2015-04-13 patchlevel 645) [universal.x86_64-darwin15]

After running .... sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods pod is available once more.

[Bizzi-Body]

Interesting...

I ran sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods and all looked good. So I moved on to update the pods in my project.

I ran pod update on the target project and got this output.

[neonichu]

@Bizzi-Body that's just warnings, they're going to be silenced in a future release (see CocoaPods/Xcodeproj#312)

[Bizzi-Body]

@neonichu - thanks for clarifying.

[robinsalehjan]

@richardgroves Thanks for the help!

This solution worked for me, updated to El Capitan from Yosemite yesterday.

[CoderMJLee]

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

[SongJiaqiang]

@CoderMJLee You are right! Thank Teacher Li.

[benjaminhorner]

same here

[the-scott-davis]

Like many of you, I had the same problem. Unfortunately for me nothing worked until I stumbled on one of the comments above posted by @darioalessandro -

As he suggested, I had to change permissions of /usr/local/bin/

The process I did, in case it's helpful to anyone, is below:

1) uninstall all instances of cocopods (just to be safe and keep things clean) sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
2) sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
3) sudo chmod +rx /usr/local/bin/

After that, my pod commands all worked from the console as it used to before migration to El Capitan

[jdk89757]

@CoderMJLee You are right! Thanks

[samratshaw]

Tried the various commands posted in this thread but nothing works for me..
Posted the log below:-

[neonichu]

@footyapps27 that looks like as if you are using the wrong version of Xcode, you can't install gems with Xcode 6 on OS X 10.11

[tonyli508]

Just use xcode-select -s (Xcode 7 version path) then
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods

[ThomasCle]

I tried all the above. The only thing that worked was the solution @the-scott-davis suggested. Thanks!

[canaksoy]

@sicaboy sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/local/bin solved my problem

[CatchZeng]

I had the same problem and solved it.
My process is below:
1.sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/local/bin
2.sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
3.sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
4.sudo ./xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/

[iMuFeng]

@CoderMJLee I fix it with this.

[aitbaali]

I had the same issue after upgrading to 10.11.1
I've fixed it with:

$ sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
Remove executables:
    pod, sandbox-pod

in addition to the gem? [Yn]  Y

then

$  gem install cocoapods

[Nathan187]

@CatchZeng thanks...you helped me

[kbpontius]

[zhixia]

+1 @the-scott-davis Thanks a lot,it's worked.

[skydivedan]

I was wondering if anyone has come across this running Xcode Server?

I tried the-scott-davis suggestions, and others, all to no avail.

I'm still getting the "pod: command not found." The weird thing is, Xcode Server runs as user _xcsbuildd. If I "su" to that user and do a "pod --version", no problem, it finds the command. But if I run a bot, with a script that has "pod install" in it, it's like the command doesn't exist. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[anas10]

+1 I have the same problem as @skydivedan. I tried all the things I could but nothing worked yet.

[elviin]

@the-scott-davis It works. Thank you.

[anas10]

@skydivedan I made it work easily at the end. Just do as @the-scott-davis said above and add one more step :
Add the following in your bot trigger script export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin so that the bot can look there as well and find the binary.

Hope that helps.

[curzel-it]

You can also just run :
gem uninstall cocoapods
(All versions + Executables)
gem install cocoapods

Worked for me

[OliverNielsen]

Removing all versions and sandbox of CocoaPods and installing it again solved the problem for me.

Uninstall: sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
Install: sudo gem install cocoapods

[eluck]

We can also make it work for local gem installation (a sudo-less one):

1. Follow instructions from the official cocoapods installation guide: https://guides.cocoapods.org/using/getting-started.html#sudo-less-installation
2. Run the following script:

echo "export PATH=\$PATH$(gem env gempath)/bin" | sed 's/:/\/bin:/g' | sed 's/$PATH/$PATH:/g' >> ~/.bash_profile

1. Restart terminal and run pod --help to check whether it works.

[damirkotoric]

@MVakas Legend!

[WillemKuei]

+1 @the-scott-davis Thanks!

[tyxinger]

I ran sudo "chmod +rx /usr/local/bin/" and It can work as before

[rajeshm20]

Thanks..everyone @MVakas...

[rsahu34]

Thanks... @MVakas

[skydivedan]

wait a minute.... Cocoapods 1.0 just rolled out. Shouldn't this have been addressed in the big 1.0 update? Or will "sudo gem install" always need a path argument?

[gpaluk]

This happens because of a new security level in El Capitan, you can disable SIP or have the install use the -n flag along with the /usr/local/bin path however the route cause is the updated security model.

[SwamyChunchu]

i have tried all bellow Commands in os X 10.11.04 ....still iam getting this error
