Installing Ruby Development Environment

There was an error while I was installing "gem install rails". The error says "could not find a valid gem 'rails'. Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/"

What should I do?

This sometimes happens, they may have a lot of traffic at the moment. Try again after some time.

You can also try: gem sources -a http://rubygems.org, when it asks you "Do you want to add this insecure source? [yn]" say y and then run gem install rails again.
