Trying to install CocoaPods using terminal getting command not found Im trying to install CocoaPods using terminal. In their official website it is written:

installing it is as easy as running the following commands in the terminal:
$ [sudo] gem install cocoapods
$ pod setup


But when i enter the first line in terminal i get the following error:

-bash: $: command not found


What can I do with it, I tried looking in the web but since I'm a noob with terminal I couldn't really figure out what to to do.
the $ in the lines shown is meant to represent the command prompt of the terminal.

enter the commands without the $ preceding..also the [sudo] part represents the requirement to use sudo or not (you will probably need to) so this comes down to entering

sudo gem install cocoapods
pod setup


before embarking further on your exploration of the command prompt you might find it helpful to have a look through some of the resources on this superuser question
