ruby - Installing CocoaPods: no response

Question

Trying to install CocoaPods from the terminal:

$ sudo gem install cocoapods

After entering my root password, nothing happens.

How can I debug that?

Answer 1

For others wondering the same, installing the gem takes forever. If you run:

export GEM_HOME=~/.gems
export PATH=$GEM_HOME/bin:$PATH

gem install cocoapods -V

Installing with flag V enables verbose output which will let you see all the output as it is going through the download and install, it's quite a lot.
