Enable Cocoapods on a MacinCloud Managed Server

 

In order to use Cocoapods, you need to first add the latest version of ruby to your default Terminal path. Please simply run the following command in the Terminal app based on the Mac CPU chip type (Intel or M1):


# On a Mac with Intel chip CPU, run in Terminal:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

# On a Mac with M1 chip CPU, run in Terminal:
echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

Once the ruby path is injected, please restart the Terminal app, and issue the following command to confirm cocoapods is working, and display the current installed cocoapods version:


pod --version


To locate the path of cocoapods installed, run the following command:

gem which cocoapods

#Sample output: "/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/gems/cocoapods-1.11.3/lib/cocoapods.rb"


Note: If you are using zsh as your shell, you will need to replace the shell profile with the following file ~/.zshrc
