Can't install Ruby Rails v 5.0.0 in video

When I follow installing rails on windows video, I type following in cmd prompt:

gem install rails --version 5.0.0 ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'rails' (= 5.0.0), 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://rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)

How I get around this? Thanks

The reason why you can't download the Rails gem is because either you have an old version of rubygems , you can check this by running gem which rubygems on your console, or you cannot verify the trust certificate of the page. For the latter I would suggest you to follow this guide, the solution is in the last four steps of the article. I don't want to sound rude or anything, but have you consider running Linux as a development environment for Rails, I know out of experience that Windows will create a lot of inconveniences down the line . Good luck, happy coding.

Hello, So I had this problem there is an update that gives should help. Open up your ruby terminal go to your project where rails should be and then execute these commands

C:>gem install --local C:\rubygems-update-2.6.7.gem C:>update_rubygems --no-ri --no-rdoc then C:>gem uninstall rubygems-update -x

And finally the documentation just in case. http://guides.rubygems.org/ssl-certificate-update/ Cheers
