Can't seem to install CocoaPods

When i try to install CocoaPods on terminal, it gives the error:

Could not find a valid gem 'cocoapods' (>= 0), here is why: Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/ - no such name (https://api.rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)

How do I go about fixing this?

Hi Dinesh,

I just installed it on my Mac with no issues, normally when this happens it's because you can't connect to rubygems.org which is usually due to an localized DNS issue either with your PC, router, exchange or ISP in general.

I had this same sort of issue last year and after about an hour it started working again.
