I can't install Sass or any other installation via gem on Windows 10

I'm on Windows 10 x64 and no matter what I try I cant' get anything other than : ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'sass' (>= 0), here is why: Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/ - SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed (https://api.rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)

In both Git Bash or CMD. I've downloaded the newest version of Ruby 64 bit version (uninstalled and tried both).

Any thoughts?

Looks like the RubyGems.org site got a new certificate provider and flubbed aligning it with the latest tool release.

The instructions to manually install the new certificate are here: https://gist.github.com/luislavena/f064211759ee0f806c88

Also, while this problem was caused by the rubygems website itself, I've had a lot fewer issues with choco installs of ruby in a Windows environment than through the installer. Pretty fun tool if you have some time to check it out. Works similarly to HomeBrew on mac or the apt-get command on Linux.

I actually ended up fixing this from this set of docs: http://guides.rubygems.org/ssl-certificate-update/ before seeing your reply. Looks like your solution is the same issue with earlier versions. Thanks for the speedy reply, I really appreciate it.
