I am currently trying to install Cocoapods and load Firebase into my Xcode project. I installed Cocoapods correctly by typing sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods (found on another Stack Overflow question, but it seems like all of the cocoapods commands cannot be found. For instance, when I type pod init or even pod install, it does not find the command.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks, Kyle

It looks like the command Pod is not in your Path variable, did you try just doing sudo gem install cocoapods as the official documentation suggests? - Daniel Ormeño
Definitely post a screenshot of your error to better help us help you :) - Avinash12388
After turning off System Integrity Protection and reinstalling Cocoa Pods, it works with no problems just like @7vikram7 suggested. - TechnologyGuy

After upgrading to OSX El Capitan, I needed to turn off System Integrity Protection and reinstall cocoapods in ElCapitan.

To turn off System Integrity Protection, follow below instructions

1) Reboot your mac and press “cmd+r” when booting up. This will cause your mac to start in recovery mode.

2) Then go into utilities > terminal.

3) Execute the command below:- csrutil disable

4) Execute the command below:- reboot

To reinstall cocoapods on El Capitan, follow below links,
