9,917 PointsCan't download Sass on Windows computer
Finishing up web design track. The only course left on there is CSS to Sass. For installing Sass, I followed the instructions to download Ruby first using the RubyInstaller. When I enter in gem install sass, it says it can't verify the certificate. If I try sudo gem install sass, it doesn't recognize this. This seems to be a known issue that other people are having. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling an earlier version of the RubyIntstaller to see if that would work and none of them work. I'm considering giving up and moving onto a different course. Any help?

Its a bit of a learning curve to get used to Ubuntu but it's benefits out weigh the getting used process.

5,839 PointsHi Jessica, One possible solution would be installing Ubuntu along side windows. I think it is far easier to use ruby and install gems using Ubuntu. If you do decide to try Ubuntu let me know I've got some really helpful links .
