Installing on windows problems

So i did the instructions for installing on windows. I got some ssl errors.

C:\>gem install jekyll
ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'jekyll' (>= 0), here is why:
          Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/ - SSL_connect retur
ned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed (
https://api.rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)

i was told to Download AddTrustExternalCARoot-2048.pem Save to C:\Ruby21-x64\lib\ruby\2.1.0\rubygems\ssl_certs Try gem install jekyll again, should work now.

i tried it and i got the following (summarised)
