该错误的原因是您没有以root用户登录终端。

如果你已经在终端类型的mac上启用了根用户

$ su

如果您没有root用户，您需要使用以下步骤启用它

From the Apple menu choose System Preferences…. From the View menu choose Users & Groups. Click the lock and authenticate as an administrator account. Click Login Options…. Click the “Edit…” or “Join…” button at the bottom right. Click the “Open Directory Utility…” button. Click the lock in the Directory Utility window. Enter an administrator account name and password, then click OK. Choose Enable Root User from the Edit menu. Enter the root password you wish to use in both the Password and Verify fields, then click OK.

在被困了几个小时后，至少它对我有用。

正如bobbdelsol所指出的，rehash对我来说很管用:

2021年方案(使用rvm):

如果您在终端中输入哪种ruby，并显示/usr/bin/ruby，您可以尝试此解决方案。

安装区 curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s稳定 使用RVM安装ruby RVM安装ruby-3.0.0 使用您安装的ruby版本 RVM使用ruby-3.0.0 再次输入哪个ruby，这将显示/Users/mac_user_name/.rvm/ ruby /ruby-3.0.0/bin/ruby。 这是使用ruby的新途径。

你需要修正你的路径。

要确定此修复是否有效，请运行以下命令:

which gem

这应该会输出一个你没有权限的目录:

/usr/bin/gem

要修复此问题，请执行以下步骤:

Determine the path you need to copy to your profile: rbenv init - The first line of the output is the line you need to copy over to your profile: export PATH="/Users/justin/.rbenv/shims:${PATH}" #path that needs to be copied source "/usr/local/Cellar/rbenv/0.4.0/libexec/../completions/rbenv.zsh" rbenv rehash 2>/dev/null rbenv() { typeset command command="$1" if [ "$#" -gt 0 ]; then shift fi case "$command" in rehash|shell) eval `rbenv "sh-$command" "$@"`;; *) command rbenv "$command" "$@";; esac } Copy the path to your profile and save it. Reload your profile (source ~/.zshenv for me). Run rbenv rehash.

现在当你运行哪个gem时，你应该得到一个你有权限的本地路径:

/Users/justin/.rbenv/shims/gem

这将以一种干净的方式修复MacOS Mojave和Catalina的问题:

brew install ruby

然后将GEM_HOME设置为您的用户目录。终端:

Bash: echo '#安装Ruby Gems到~/ Gems ' >> ~/.bashrc echo 'export GEM_HOME=$HOME/gems' >> ~/.bashrc echo 'export PATH=$HOME/gems/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc . txt 源~ / . bashrc 如果在Zsh上: echo '#安装Ruby Gems到~/ Gems ' >> ~/.zshrc echo 'export GEM_HOME=$HOME/gems' >> ~/.zshrc echo 'export PATH=$HOME/gems/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.zshrc . txt 源~ / . zshrc

为我工作:

sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

sudo gem install cocoapods
