Cocoa pods - reduce wait times to 10    on Mac OS       1- type pod setup in your project folder   first you have to be in the project folder  from terminal in Mac OS    2- CTRL z to stop after it creates master directory   folder    you can see it in your cocoa pods folder location      cocoapods repos    Download  zip from    https   github com CocoaPods Specs    master branch   its 301 MB    Extract it   It will take approx 5-10 mins    4 Copy the content to     cocoapods repos   now here you only need to copy the contents inside the master folder   so make sure that master folder is created already with pod setup command    5- once you copy it   or I should say move   drag and drop as copying will take forever   as its very large    you can then do pod install --no-repo-update 6- your pods in the pod file now will start installing  Here is a screenshot

The issue is that you haven t got command line tools installed  I believe  Try run in terminal   sudo gem update --system   after that download command line tools from Apple just search for  Command Line Tools  and download the right version for your OS  Once you install it run in terminal   sudo gem install cocoapods pod setup

None of the solutions above worked for me  I had to uninstall coacoapods  then installed a specific version before everything worked for me  sudo gem uninstall cocoapods   then   sudo gem install cocoapods -v 1 7 5   now even verbose shows progress    pod setup --verbose  Setting up CocoaPods master repo  Cloning spec repo  master  from  https   github com CocoaPods Specs git   branch  master        usr bin git clone https   github com CocoaPods Specs git --progress -- master   Cloning into  master       remote  Enumerating objects  295  done            remote  Counting objects  100   295 295   done            remote  Compressing objects  100   283 283   done            Receiving objects   20   744493 3722462   132 93 MiB   567 00 KiB s

I Faced same problem but it work for I executed the Pod Install Command Before 3 Hour ago after that its updated what i want  You just need to Keep tracking the  Activity Monitor  You can see their  git remote https  or  Git  in disk tab  It will download around 330 Mb then it shows 1 GB and After some minutes it will starts installing  No need to Execute extra command   Note   during downloading your MAC need to in continuously Active mode If your system goes in sleep mode then CPU stop the process and you will get a error Like Add manually

I m monitoring the download progress by using   while true   do    du -sh    cocoapods      sleep 3   done   the progress is very slow    and failed few times    But somehow after increasing the git buffer limit by using this command line git config --global http postBuffer 2M The download speed is improving greatly and after downloading in total 347 Mb on   cocoapods folder  the progress seems to stop and network activity is also stopping  but after waiting few minutes  turn out that cocoapod is verifying and extracting the repo and makes the total size up to 853 Mb   notes  I m doing it on 23 Oct 2016

I have an alternative solution that I currently use  By changing the repository URL in Podfile to  source  https   cdn cocoapods org    changes  - source  https   github com CocoaPods Specs git    source  https   cdn cocoapods org

pod install or pod setup fetches whole repo with history when you first time run it  You don t need that commit history   pod setup Ctrl  C cd    cocoapods repos  git clone --depth 1 https   github com CocoaPods Specs git master   It takes around 2 mins on decent network connection  4Mbps   master directory is around 519M big

When CocoaPods is doing that it is downloading the entire specs repo to    cocoapods  This could take a while depending on your connection  I would try doing it explicitly first with pod setup

pod setup --verbose    I am running the above mentioned command right now but as mentioned by  Joe Blow  it shows absolutely no information on the progress    But if you open the Activity Monitor on Mac  Task Manager on Windows    under the  Network  tab you will see a process named  git-remote-https  and it shows the size of  Received Bytes  increasing  After downloading about 300MB it stopped and then I could see further progress in the Terminal window

As of cocoapods 1 7 2 you can use the cdn instead of github  It s blazing fast and it won t hang     The cdn is default from cocopods 1 8 0 onwards       To use the CDN source in your Podfile       If you don t have private specs   source  https   cdn cocoapods org         If you have private specs   source  https   github com artsy Specs git  - source  https   github com CocoaPods Specs git    source  https   cdn cocoapods org         Doing this will break your Podfile lock  so you are likely to need to run pod update to see the changes  be careful  this may update your Pods also        If you have a CI setup  it is recommended to cache the new repo dir as it is very small and would save even more time  With 1 7 2 it should be located at    cocoapods repos cocoapods-  yes  with a -   but we re looking to improve the naming in an upcoming release    More info    CocoaPods 1 7 2     Master Repo CDN is Finalized  CocoaPods 1 8 Beta is Here

I used the following 4 commands  cd    cocoapods repos git clone  https   github com CocoaPods Specs  master --depth 1 cd master git fetch --unshallow pod setup   I took time as expected  but at least I didn t have to stair at the screen wondering whats happening in the background

pod setup works and should only take 10 mins on a solid connection  After that run  pod install --verbose and you should see all the comments you would normally see when running a dependancy manager   Hope that helps

What I tried and faster than clonning the repo    pod setup Ctrl  C after creating the master directory Download  zip from https   github com CocoaPods Specs master Copy the content to    cocoapods repos pod install --no-repo-update in my project folder   After that I finally could see the pods being installed  Good luck   EDIT  The zip size is 144 MB  Jul 6 2017

Try this command to track its work   while true  do   du -sh    cocoapods    sleep 3 done

You could try running in verbose mode  pod install --verbose  That ll show you what cocoa pods are up to  Setting up CocoaPods master repo  Cloning spec repo  master  from  https   github com CocoaPods Specs git   branch  master        usr bin git clone  https   github com CocoaPods Specs git  master   Cloning into  master       as suggested here  For me the above step took quite a long time as the repo  Dec 2016  is now 1 1 GB

Just setup the master repo  was excited to see that we have a download progress  see screenshot     CocoaPods release 1 2 0  Jan 28  fixes this issue  thanks to all contributors and Danielle Tomlinson for this release

User · Answer

This happens only once     Master repo has  -1GB  November 2016    To track the progress you can use activity monitor app and look for git-remote-https  Next time it  pod setup or pod repo update  will only fast update all spec-repos in    cocoapods repos
