Error in installing Sass on Windows 8.1

I already installed successfully Ruby 1.9.3. I went to the DOS shell and went to the Ruby193 directory and typed "gem install sass" as instructed. However, I am getting the following errors:

WARNING: Error fetching data..... ERROR: Could not find a valid gem sass<>= 0> in any repository ERROR: Possible alternatives: sass

Please help.

When you were installing ruby did you tick the check box to add ruby to the path? ( this might not be exactly what it says) This was the issue i ran into.

Doesn't sound like this is the problem, but make sure you run cmd as Administrator.
