之前10.7的系统上执行过cocoapods没有问题。如今系统版本号升级到了10.9，尝试使用cocoapods遇到问题，报告了类似以下的错误：
Psych::SyntaxError - (/Users/psteinacher/.cocoapods/repos/master/CocoaPods-version.yml): mapping values are not allowed in this context at line 3 column 4

经过多方尝试，发现运行例如以下的命令能够解决这个问题：
$ sudo rm -fr ~/.cocoapods/repos/master
$ pod setup
最后推荐一个xcode插件，能够非常方便的使用cocoapods。
CocoaPods for Xcode
非常方便的Xcode pods插件。能够非常方便的在Xcode通过pods安装各种objective-c第三方库，省去曾经还要手动去跑pods命令行的麻烦；此外，还支持通过cocoaDocs来安装库文档。唯一的遗憾是，它眼下仅仅支持Xcode5，4版本号还用不了。
