Jekyll and OSX 10.11 GM - ruby

I have updated to OSX 10.11 (GM) and have gone to work on some Jekyll projects. However when i try to serve the jekyll site i am getting the following error:-
-bash: jekyll: command not found
Alans-MacBook:new-site alan$
I have been looking around to see if there is a solution, but have yet to find one that can help.
I was wondering if anyone has also ran into this, and if there is a solution.

So i worked out what the actual issue was!
Apple has added System Integrity Protection (SIP) to increase security. This means that Jekyll has been effected as it uses the default Ruby install.
More details on SIP.
To get around this other users have been installing the Homebrew version. It's also likely that Jekyll v3.0 will start to move towards using this version too.
Install the Xcode command line utilities:
xcode-select --install
Install Homebrew (instructions at http://brew.sh)
Modify $PATH to use Homebrew:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
Modify $PATH for GUI apps:
launchctl setenv PATH "/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
Install the latest Ruby:
brew install ruby
Install the latest Jekyll:
gem install jekyll

Updating Ruby Mac OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard

I'm trying to install a more recent version of Ruby on Snow Leopard so I can install Jekyll. When trying to install any version of Jekyll I get an error saying that it requires liquid, which requires ruby v2+.
If I try upgrade via rbenv I get the following when trying all versions:
error: failed to download ruby-2.1.1.tar.bz2
BUILD FAILED (OS X 10.6.8 using ruby-build 20181019)
I've also installed Ruby manually from source but this isn't recognised by the system and I can't switch versions.
If i run rbenv global it only recognises the System version of Ruby.
When I try brew upgrade ruby I get the following error:
ruby 2.5.3_1 already installed
If I try link to the new version with brew I get the following error:
brew link --force --overwrite ruby#2.5.3_1
Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/ruby#2.5.3_1
RVM doesn't install so I'm not sure what to do next. Below are the details of the packages I have installed.
Xcode 3.2.2 (I cant get an installer working for any higher versions of Xcode). The more recent versions hosted by Apple for Snow Leopard are corrupt when downloaded.
rbenv 1.1.1
brew 1.8.4
ruby 1.8.7 (System)
You have (or had) a path issue. Before you did your follow up steps, if you had run which ruby you'd probably see it pointing to /usr/bin/ruby which is system ruby, not your homebrew ruby in /usr/local/bin/ruby.
You still need to, if you haven't already, add your export command to your ~/.bash_profile file to ensure your PATH gets updated for every terminal window you open.
I'm not sure what actually fixed this but I ran the following commands after reading other posts and now have Jekyll 3.8.3 installed and ruby 2.5.3p105.
sudo chown -R "$USER":admin /usr/local
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
brew link --overwrite ruby --force
gem install jekyll

macOS Mojave 'ruby/config.h' file not found

When I try to build vim(8.1.0509) with ruby support(--enable-rubyinterp) on macOS Mojave(10.14.1) I get error:
In file included from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.3/usr/include/ruby-2.3.0/ruby.h:33:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.3/usr/include/ruby-2.3.0/ruby/ruby.h:24:10: fatal error:
'ruby/config.h' file not found
#include "ruby/config.h"
I have installed Xcode 10.1.
xcode-select -p
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
Note: this workaround works, but you can't just copy/paste paths blindly. Instead, look at the error installation gave you. It will say something like
To see why this extension failed to compile, please check the mkmf.log which can be found here:
/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/extensions/universal-darwin-21/2.6.0/ffi-1.15.5/mkmf.log
So open the log it mentions, and see what it can't find. It will tell you the correct versions of MacOSX__._.sdk and universal-darwin-__ you need to link
Catalina, Big Sur, etc. (As of 2020, 2021, and 2022)
UPDATE: This workaround still works as of 2022. For the commands below, please change version string (e.g., 11.1, ruby 2.6, universal-darwin20, etc.) accordingly to your macOS version environment.
Recent versions of macOS and Xcode (e.g. Catalina 10.15 and Xcode 12.2) have this broken. Reinstalling Xcode and xcode-select --install did not help for me at all (the solutions already posted seem to be outdated). I did not want to use rvm because it may cause some annoying problems.
I did a workaround by manually making a symbolic link:
cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX11.1.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/include/ruby-2.6.0/ruby
ln -sf ../../../../Headers/ruby/config.h
where ruby/config.h can be found at:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX11.1.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/Headers/ruby/config.h.
You should change SDK versions (e.g. 11.1 in the above example) accordingly to your current xcode installation.
It is also very likely that one runs into another error where .../universal-darwin19/ruby/config.h cannot be found (Commonmarker gem cannot be installed (needed for jekyll) macos). It can be quick-fixed as follows:
cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX11.1.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/include/ruby-2.6.0
ln -sf universal-darwin20 universal-darwin19
If after using this workaround, you get a crash on pod install like:
/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/gems/ffi-1.15.5/lib/ffi/library.rb:275: [BUG] Bus Error at 0x0000000100f38000
follow this solution
macOS Catalina
Issue reappeared in Catalina and I wasn't able to spot this package in the Developer SDK. Until better solution found, I was able to workaround this with rubyenv: https://github.com/orta/cocoapods-keys/issues/198#issuecomment-510909030
brew install rbenv ruby-build
echo 'if which rbenv > /dev/null; then eval "$(rbenv init -)"; fi' >> ~/.bash_profile
rbenv install 2.6.3
rbenv global 2.6.3
Mojave and older
This answer helped me: https://stackoverflow.com/a/53194299/2105993
xcode-select --install
open /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg
On macOS Catalina
After installing and uninstalling the developer tools multiple times, this is the only thing that worked for me:
First install the Ruby Version Manager rvm:
curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
Then install the latest version of ruby:
rvm install ruby-2.7.2
Finally try again to install the cocoapods:
sudo gem install cocoapods
(from this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/65033418/3605761)
edit: may need rvm reinstall ruby-2.7.2 instead of rvm install ruby-2.7.2 at step 2.
edit2: #greg-dubicki mentioned swapping ruby-2.7.2 for ruby-3.0.3: rvm install ruby-3.0.3 and then making it the default: rvm --default use 3.0.3 they also mentioned: As an extra benefit, thanks to the switch from the outdated system Ruby 2 to a current version 3, you will get up to 3 x better performance.
I had the exact same problem. Could not install gems with native extensions. Running
$ open /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg
failed, because the file did not exist. Looks like Mojave can break the commandline tools.
I fixed it by removing the Xcode commandline tools, installing them again and then installing the missing headers:
$ sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
$ xcode-select --install
$ open /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg
If you are facing this issue in Mac Big Sur, reinstalling CommandLineTools can fix this issue.
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
xcode-select --install
This is because some versions of Xcode don't have the macOS SDK for the OS it's running on, when compiling native extension of gem.
make sure Xcode version and macOS version match each other:
macOS 10.15: Xcode < 12.2
macOS 11: Xcode >= 12.2, <= 13.0
macOS 12: Xcode >= 13.1, <= 14.0
macOS 13: Xcode >= 14.1
On macOS Catalina
If multiple versions of xcode are installed,xcode12/xcode12.4 etc.Please try to change your xcode command line tools in xcode preferences. It may works!!!
I tried all of the above and I eventually got it working with this little 'gem', pardon the pun.
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods -v 1.8.4
From https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/668456
2021 Advice
If you are able, updating to macOS Big Sur and then updating Xcode will also fix the issue.
Just tested on updating 10.15 -> 11.2.3 for macOS.
And 12.4 for Xcode.
MacOS Big Sur Beta 8
try this:
install rbenv
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv
cd ~/.rbenv && src/configure && make -C src
Add ~/.rbenv/bin to your $PATH for access to the rbenv command-line utility.
see: https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv#basic-github-checkout
make sure export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/shims:${PATH}" was added to your $PATH
xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Develope
gem install cocoapods should work like a charm!
for me it worked "rvm install ruby" (not with brew) and then doing steps from here:
$ sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
$ xcode-select --install
and then
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/ruby/lib/pkgconfig"
After all this, it worked.
I did the similar things to Jongwook Choi with the following environment and problem as a case reference.
I am using macOS 12.6.2.
The problem arises when I try to install cocoapods by running sudo gem install cocoapods.
After reading the suggested logs in the terminal feedback and reading the source code it is referring to, it is obviously a bug of the builtin files in macOS 12.6.2.
In my case, I do the followings and the cocoapods can be installed successfully.
Original error
In file included from /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX13.0.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/include/ruby-2.6.0/ruby.h:33:

Action 1
The file `config.h` is missing. So I build the symbolink in the folder
cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX13.0.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/include/ruby-2.6.0/ruby/

The second one is referring to a folder called universal-darwin21.
However, I try to use uname -r and got 21.6 so I think it is obviously does not hurt to create a symbolink of "universal-darwin21" to resolve the problem.
Original error
make: *** No rule to make target `/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX13.0.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/include/ruby-2.6.0/universal-darwin21/ruby/config.h', needed by `AbstractMemory.o'. Stop.
Action 2
cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/include/ruby-2.6.0
sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/include/ruby-2.6.0/universal-darwin22 universal-darwin21
After that, the installation runs successfully.
However, if reading the log file
/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/extensions/universal-darwin-21/2.6.0/ffi-1.15.5/gem_make.out
It is still outing some warnings, if study those warnings, will find missing folders which is obviously missing and is the problem of the system files/folders rather than anything wrong with the user actions.
My problem was different from - Yosemite upgrade broke ruby.h
As you can see in the description of the problem it's System's ruby, not Xcode's ruby so reinstall Xcode or symlink didn't help here.
Answer:
I have reinstalled macOS Mojave without losing any data and this fixed the problem.
I had a similar problem installing eventmachine 1.2.7, this worked for me (macOS 10.15.5):
(I use fish)
brew install ruby
Add the following ~/.config/fish/config.fish (without fish, just add these to path)
fish_add_path /usr/local/opt/ruby/bin
fish_add_path /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.0.0/bin
set -gx CPPFLAGS "-I/usr/local/opt/ruby/include"
set -gx LDFLAGS "-L/usr/local/opt/ruby/lib"
set -gx PKG_CONFIG_PATH "/usr/local/opt/ruby/lib/pkgconfig"
sudo gem install eventmachine -v '1.2.7' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'
The set -gx commands I got after installing ruby thru brew.
I tried reinstalling the Xcode tools (12.3 as I can't upgrade to Big Sur just yet) and re-accepting agreement, but that didn't change anything
One note is that this was from installing eventmachine 1.2.7. The log error I got referenced this path as one of its flags:
-I/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX11.1.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/include/ruby-2.6.0 -I
Note that it was trying to look in .../MacOSX11.1.sdk/..., but I have 10.15.5. Even setting CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS, PKG_CONFIG_PATH manually did not work as I was using either system ruby or whatever rbenv had, but I was too frustrated to dig deeper down that particular rabbit hole. So, I reinstalled w/ brew's ruby!
If you're getting this error as part of bundle install, see below -
I couldn't get any of the posted solutions to work. What worked for me was installing the specified bundler version from the logs. For example, my Console was warning me about mismatching bundler version and I ran gem install bundler:2.2.32 to fix it which then fixed the bundle install command for me. In my case, i was using rvm and ruby version 3.0.0.
I ran into this after uninstalling an older version of Xcode. Typically, I install into /Applications/Xcode-13.2.1.app for example. However, xcode-select -p still showed it was pointing to an older version.
I just ran sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode-13.2.1.app and everything started working correctly again.
I cannot find this mentioned above, and I'm not sure if that's a universal solution. Mentioning this as this may be still useful.
At least with Xcode 14/macOS 13/12, it's possible to use stock Ruby, without messing up with symlinks, provided that macOS command line tools package is installed on the host. The thing is that command line tools package bundles SDKs for most recent versions of macOS, and most notably, the one matching the host (from what I can see, that SDK has the "correct" name for the directory containing ruby/config.h). Then it's just a matter of overriding SDKROOT in the environment (this is the most crucial thing), to point all the low-level tools like clang to the custom root matching the "correct" version of SDK. (Without override, it would still use the default SDK bundled with the tools, that may or not match the version of macOS running on the host).
macos_major_vers=$(sw_vers -productVersion | sed 's/^\([^.]*\)\..*$/\1/') # e.g. 12
export SDKROOT=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX"$macos_major_vers".sdk
# ... build commands for Ruby gems go here.
I'm using rbenv (on Catalina) and none of the solutions I found here (or elsewhere) worked for me. Ultimately what fixed my environment was pointing rbenv global to a specific version of ruby instead of system:
$ rbenv global 2.6.3
This was the state of my env while gem install was failing:
$ gem env home
=> /Users/ryanc/.gem
$ which gem
=> /Users/ryanc/.rbenv/shims/gem
$ which ruby
=> /Users/ryanc/.rbenv/shims/ruby
$ ruby -v
=> ruby 2.6.3p62 (2019-04-16 revision 67580) [universal.x86_64-darwin19]
$ rbenv local
=> rbenv: no local version configured for this directory
$ rbenv global
=> system
$ rbenv which ruby
=> /usr/bin/ruby
The result of rbenv which ruby was the key. I decided to run rbenv global 2.6.3 and suddenly I could install gems again. Here's the new state of things:
$ ruby -v
=> ruby 2.6.3p62 (2019-04-16 revision 67580) [x86_64-darwin19]
$ rbenv global
=> 2.6.3
$ rbenv which ruby
=> /Users/ryanc/.rbenv/versions/2.6.3/bin/ruby
In my case (Catalina 10.15.7) simply re-installying ruby with homebrew fixed it. No need to install rvm or rubyenv.
it's about your ruby version or bad installation.
you can install new ruby version with rvm
first install rvm with bellow command
curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
then close and reopen terminal or use command source [you mac bash file like .zshrc or .bashrrc] to load rvm command
next install new ruby version with bellow command
rvm install ruby-2.7.2
now you should use new version of ruby and install last version of cocoapods
do this steps:
check ruby version
check ruby version with ruby -v command
if your ruby version not 2.7.2 use 'rvm use 2.7.2' command to switch
on new ruby
then install cocoapods with 'sudo gem install cocoapods' command
for check new pods version use 'gem which cocoapods' command.
This is not cocoa pod issue, It is related to the older version of ruby.
Simply follow the below steps :
rvm install "ruby-3.0.0"
sudo gem install cocoapods
I'm encountered with the same problem a moment ago, and the following works for me.
brew install rbenv
# To get the latest stable version of ruby
rbenv install --list
# 3.1.1 is the latest version
rbenv install 3.1.1 && rbenv global 3.1.1
Do as installation tips of the previous step:
vim ~/.zhrc and append eval "$(rbenv init - zsh)"; finally, restart your term to make the line take effect.
I prefers not to make change under /Applications/Xcode.app since everything done will be lost after upgrading Xcode.
By the way, rbenv install --list tells all stable versions of ruby, and I choose the latest. You could try earlier ruby version that works for you.

How can I install Jekyll on OSX 10.11?

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EPERM)
Operation not permitted - /usr/bin/jekyll
I'm getting a permission error on trying to install Jekyll. I'm currently running OSX 10.11 (El Capitan). I also have Xcode 7 and have installed the developer tools. Is there a workaround or is this an OS specific issue?
This is a side effect of Apple's new rootless (aka System Integrity Protection or SIP) feature in OS X El Capitan, but it does not affect /usr/local/bin.
You might try the following:
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin/ jekyll
This tells gem to install Jekyll into a folder that isn't protected by SIP, rather than the default protected location under /Library/Ruby/Gems.
This is the solution suggested by Jekyll's developers.
Apple has added System Integrity Protection (SIP) to increase security. This means that Jekyll has been effected as it uses the default Ruby install.
More details on SIP.
To get around this other users have been installing the Homebrew version. It's also likely that Jekyll v3.0 will start to move towards using this version too.
Install the Xcode command line utilities:
xcode-select --install
Install Homebrew (instructions at http://brew.sh)
Modify $PATH to use Homebrew:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
Modify $PATH for GUI apps:
launchctl setenv PATH "/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
Install the latest Ruby:
brew install ruby
Install the latest Jekyll:
gem install jekyll
Don't install Jekyll with Homebrew, The security of Homebrew is unknown : https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/105088/osx-homebrew-security-risks
Here is how you install it without homeBrew: with a vanilla OSX el cap: http://digitalshore.io/how-to-install-jekyll-mac-os-x-el-capitan/
Update 1:
The only drawback is that you have to type in your password everytime you use sudo, which isnt a big deal. I rather do that than install more dependencies. You should host your Jekyll config on github anyway, that way you wont have to deal with the command line at all. Here is my article on how to set Jekyll up with github: http://stylekit.org/blog/2016/01/06/The-Jekyll-Setup/
Update 2:
Since then i've made a 30 second video tutorial on how you can setup a jekyll blog on github: https://vimeo.com/154566844
It seems this was an OS specific issue. I found a similar issue here, and the answer I found here helped solve the problem :
Cannot install cocoa pods after uninstalling, results in error
I ran into the same error message.
Solved for me by installing ruby from brew.
The new El Capitan version of OS X has a new technology called SIP that won't let users (even when using sudo) write to the /usr/bin folder. This breaks the install process. You can disable SIP, but I'd prefer to keep it on since it provides protection against bad stuff.
SIP does allow writing in the /usr/local folder so what I did was manually install ruby there using brew and then install jekyll. That worked fine.
sudo brew install ruby
sudo nvram boot-args="rootless=0"; sudo reboot
reboot
sudo gem install jekyll -V
cd into directory
jekyll serve --watch
If you cannot get it to work you can always try Cloud9.

Running pod setup gives me "bad interpreter: No such file or directory" error

Recently I tried to do pod setup and I get this error:
-bash: /usr/local/bin/pod: /usr/local/opt/ruby/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
I followed Ray Wenderlich's guide to install CocoaPods and I get this issue so I have no idea what is going on.
I encountered this problem when upgrading to Mac OS High Sierra.
This was my fix:
sudo gem install cocoapods
I found this answer on the CocoaPods issue list on Github.
This happened when I upgraded to Catalina.
I solved it by running:
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin ruby
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
After upgraded to High Sierra, I got the same error, just reinstalled the cocoapods
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
Same issue I was facing when I updated our system from Sierra to Mojave. Also works for Catalina
The following steps worked:
sudo gem update --system
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
I got the help from the following link.
brew link --overwrite cocoapods
This line saved my day.
i fixed it by running brew install ruby
The following worked for me:
Select Command Line Tools in XCode.
XCode > Preferences > Locations > Command Line Tools > XCode 11.X.X
In terminal execute:
sudo gem install cocoapods -n /usr/local/bin
https://stackoverflow.com/a/60464653
While I'm trying to install again then I got another error saying that
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.3.0 directory.
Then I did this and worked fine.
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem install cocoapods
On my mac this solved the problem:
brew uninstall cocoapods
brew install cocoapods
After upgrading from OS X Mojave to OS X Catalina I received this message when running pod init or pod --version:
-bash: /Users/mangolassi/.gem/bin/pod: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.3/usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
I don't like the idea of sudo gem install cocoapods so I have my .cocoapods folder in my user directory and I've modified my .bash_profile to point to it. The error I received was because the version 2.3 was hard coded in this file:
/Users/eric/.gem/bin/pod and Catalina came with 2.6.
It's possible that using sudo install would overwrite this file successfully, and probably does, but I wanted to keep my original setup.
I was able to to just modify the first shebang line of the file /Users/eric/.gem/bin/pod to have a path with 2.6 instead of 2.3 and it worked. The entire change was changing the '3' to a '6' in my chase as the version was still '2'.
for MACOS X Catalina
Tried most of the answers but none worked. If the above doesn't work try Opening Xcode preferences > Locations > selecting Command Line Tools to Xcode. Then install cocoapods
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
The error in the original post is due to an improperly configured Ruby environment. You should never use sudo to install gems, no matter how many times you see it as an accepted answer on Stack Overflow.
At a high level, setting up a proper Ruby development environment on a Mac involves six steps:
Install Homebrew (which also installs the prerequisite Apple command line tools)
Install a Ruby manager (such as chruby, rbenv, asdf, RVM) - most of these can be installed with Homebrew
Configure the Ruby manager by adding the appropriate lines to your shell file (~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshrc) - each manager will have instructions for doing this, and this is a typical step that people miss
Restart the terminal (or open a new tab) for the shell changes to take effect - another step that is often overlooked
Install a specific version of Ruby using the Ruby manager
Switch to that version of Ruby using the Ruby manager
My personal preference is chruby with ruby-install. For more details and a script that can automate this whole process, check out my answer here:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/54873916/928191
As the accepted answer mentions, you can also install Ruby with Homebrew, but you also need to make sure to set your PATH in your shell file. Instructions for this are in my answer linked above.
I came across a similar issue when I tried upgrading the cocoa pods version using:
brew upgrade cocoapods
To fix this, cocopaods had to be linked with xcodeproj using the command below:
brew link cocoapods
If the linking fails, then you should be able to link by overwriting the previously existing link as follows:
brew link --overwrite cocoapods
Fixed with
brew upgrade cocoapods
In my case nothing of the above worked. I had ruby 2.3.0 installed and I had to downgrade to 2.0.0:
gem update --system 2.0.0
The "rubyist approved" way of doing this is to install a ruby version manager (rbenv) and install cocoapods through that. Messing with sudo and your rubygems is going to lead to tears.
Find the pod file. Mine was located at usr/local/bin/pod
You'll find that the top line says version 2.3. Edit this file to the correct version number. Save a copy of the original incase you mess it up.
Try your pod related commands again.
Worked for me after days of trying everything.
vi pod
then replace the ruby path 2.3 one to the path which u get by using
which ruby command in terminal
then do pod setup it will work
this worked for me after trying all the listed solutions .
re-installing ruby solving issues on my case (error happen after I upgrade Mac OS to Monterey). it's take a bit of time to reinstall but it worked

Error Installing Jekyll on OSX (Updated RubyGems)

I'm trying to install Jekyll, a simple, blog-aware, static site generator. When I attempted to run the terminal command gem install jekyll, I got this error:
I then tried to update my RubyGems, using the command sudo gem update --system. That didn't work. Also, I attempted to install using sudo -s (as admin).
Hopefully, I don't have to re-install Ruby. What a headache that would be!
What version of OS X are you using?
Try this from your shell to install xcode command line tools
xcode-select --install
Then launch xcode and agree to the license. Then try again.
