"pod init" giving error "-bash: pod: command not found"

For OS Catalina (as of December 2019)

gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods

if the 1st command doesn't work, try the 2nd command

sudo gem install cocoapods

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

In my case, the 2nd command worked

Looks like you didn't install CocoaPods.

To do that you install it through ruby gems, like this:

sudo gem install cocoapods

If you don't have admin privileges, try:

gem install cocoapods --user-install
