Installing Sass On Windows Error

Hey everybody,

Just wanted to ask why sass isn't installing on my computer. I'm using windows, and have ruby installed on my computer. In the terminal, I type 'gem install sass' and this error comes up:

ERROR: Could not find 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 certificateB: certificate veryify failed (http://api.rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)

I have been stuck on this for a while, any help would be greatly appreciated!

No problem,

Are you running windows 10? / Do you have any other ruby gems installed?

I am running windows 10, however, all I have installed in ruby.

OK so for me I had a problem because I did not install Ruby correctly.

By this what I mean is I missed the important step of "Adding Executables To Path" or some selection to that effect.

If I was you I would ditch the current install of Ruby and start fresh making sure that is selected.

Did you follow the course on Treehouse to install ruby on Windows?

Hi Guys i had a same problem. So what i have done is ...

1 - Download Cmder ( console emulator ) - http://cmder.net/ ( you can skip the first step )

2 - Download the Ruby from - http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ don't forget to mark "Adding Executables To Path"

3 - Download the Gem file from - https://rubygems.org/pages/download (download the file in a directory that you can later point to like C:\ )

4 - In Cmd or Cmder type -

C:>gem install --local C:\rubygems-update-2.6.8.gem

C:>update_rubygems --no-ri --no-rdoc

Probably you can download the latest version of Ruby from - https://rubygems.org/

I hope it will help , thx
