$ pod setup时，CocoaPods报CocoaPods was not able to update the `master` repo. If this is an unexpected issue and persists you can inspect it running `pod repo update --verbose`错误。

解决办法如下：
先删除全局的缓存：
$ sudo rm -fr ~/Library/Caches/CocoaPods/
$ sudo rm -fr ~/.cocoapods/repos/master/
把当前 Pods 目录清空：
$ sudo rm -fr Pods/
然后，重新安装cocoapods
$sudo gem install cocoapods 温馨提示：苹果系统升级 OS X EL Capitan 后改为 $sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods，根据自己的系统选择操作哦。
再次
$ pod setup
慢慢等吧，看你网速了，最终出现
CocoaPods 1.0.0.beta.8 is available.
To update use: gem install cocoapods --pre
[!] This is a test version we'd love you to try.

Setup completed
