Seems like you don't have access to usr/bin directory. i have been there!!

please try below command.

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

this should work. Thanks!!

Please refer this post more information about access rights.

I think you don't have the commande lines tool on Xcode...

sudo xcode-select --reset
xcode-select --install

Keep us posted...

I had the same error, my problem was that ruby version 2.6.0 is the default version on mac os. so i installed rbenv

and set ruby to version 3.0.3 now it works

Run the following on terminal:

brew install cocoapods

If you don't have Homebrew yet, run this:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
