Cocoapods is not installing/working correctly on MacOS Monterey

Question

I am trying to install cocoapods but at first I was not able to do it via sudo gem install cocoapods because of some "FilePermission" Error.

Then I tried it using homebrew, it got installed but it does not work.

It gives me following error: zsh: command not found: cocoapods

and when I use "pod --version" as mentioned, I get following logs:

/Library/Ruby/Site/2.6.0/rubygems/specification.rb:1411:in `rescue in block in activate_dependencies': Could not find 'minitest' (>= 5.1) among 40 total gem(s) (Gem::MissingSpecError)

The fact that we are seeing Library/Ruby/ or that you are having to say `sudo` is a total bug. You need to use a user-installed ruby. — matt, May 26 '22 at 20:10

Basically Cocoapods use pod key word to perform its command use:

pod --version

to check the version of Cocoapods on your mac.

Even the pod version is throwing following error: /Library/Ruby/Site/2.6.0/rubygems/specification.rb:1411:in `rescue in block in activate_dependencies': Could not find 'minitest' (>= 5.1) among 40 total gem(s) (Gem::MissingSpecError) Checked in 'GEM_PATH=/Users/shubhamojha/.local/share/gem/ruby/2.6.0:/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/lib/ruby/gems/2.6.0:/usr/local/Cellar/cocoapods/1.11.3/libexec' at: /usr/local/Cellar/cocoapods/1.11.3/libexec/specifications/activesupport-6.1.5.gemspec, execute `gem env` for more information – Shubham Ojha May 26 '22 at 18:07
