Can't install gems on Windows 7 64 - ruby

No laughing now...
I say this because there are a lot people who have already asked, not necessarily for the sass gem but for other gems. Answers almost always deflect the asker into building a virtualbox linux environment.
Okay, I've already got that, but I'd like to use the windows environment for personal reasons.
I followed Sass's own directions:
http://sass-lang.com/install
Ruby is supposed to be working in Windows 7, so I'd be grateful for answers that actually allow me to install gems in the windows environment. It's not a firewall issue. I turned off the firewall temporarily to check.
I've installed Ruby using the download at rubyinstaller.org.
I'm trying to install the sass gem. Gem will not install any gems, so it's not sass-specific.
It looks like the problem is related to https.
I'd be grateful if someone could tell me how to make this work.

After reading this on RubyGems Github that the problem might be with the installer I realized the problem might be with the installer. First I uninstalled the flawed version (Ruby 2.0.0-p353) and then installed 1.9.3-p484. Gem installs now run flawlessly, though not the latest preferred version.

As for me I closed the current prompt and opened a new command prompt window after installing DevKit then it was working fine.

Gemfile issues and Ruby install issues

I am working on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. I had Ruby version 2.1.5 installed on my machine and everything was working great. I went and installed a gem that would set up a project for you with most of the basics already completed, but it required Ruby 2.2.2. I went and researched how to upgrade my Ruby version and the best solution I found was to install the Pik gem for windows and install 2.2.2 separately, and switch between the two versions.
I followed a tutorial on YouTube for how to set up Pik. I normally use Git Bash but the tutorial required me to use the cmd.exe prompt to set up Pik, and then it included a way to use Pik with Git Bash at the end of the tutorial. I also had to add a file to my PATH in the system settings.
I was able to set up Pik and everything worked great with Pik on both the cmd.exe and Git Bash consoles. However, from there if I went to run any other commands such as bundle install, I would get an error:
Could not locate gemfile.
I have also experienced the same error, but it would say something along the lines of an issue with the .bundle/directory. I tried switching to a project that I had already created in the past and tried running the command again. It still had the same error. (I did this to see if the gemfile in the project would fix anything.) If I try running gem install rails, I have had it work once or twice - but I still have the 'no gemfile' issue after the fact.
The times the command doesn't work I often get:
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'rails' (>= 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/latest_specs.4.8.gz).
I tried running the pik gem and pik gemsync commands to see if that would fix my issues but it did not.
I tried uninstalling Pik by doing the pik implode command and deleting the files it created. The issue still persisted. I tried uninstalling the 2.2.2 version of Ruby using the uninstall executable in the file, and deleting any left over file(s). The issue still persisted. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Ruby completely from my machine, the 2.1.5 version that is doing the same method as the 2.2.2 version. Yet the issue still persists no matter what I do. I have tried many times uninstalling and reinstalling both Ruby versions, from the executable and from the control panel. I would like to find a way to completely uninstall and reinstall all of Ruby if possible, preferably reinstall Ruby 2.2.2. Or if anyone else has any other ideas for how to fix this issue?
from there if I went to run any other commands such as bundle install I would get an error Could not locate Gemfile.
As you've guessed, you need a file named gemfile in the same location you are running bundle install from
If I try running gem install rails I have had it work once or twice but I still have the no gemfile issue after the fact.
Running gem install <package> doesn't create a gemfile for you. You need to do this yourself. It's essentially a file where you manually specify which packages you would like your project to use. See here on how to create.
The times the command doesn't work I often get: "ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'rails' (>= 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)."
This sometimes happens on Windows machine. You can do a quick search on how to fix the gem command with SSL, or in your Gemfile you can temporarily specify http://rubygems.org/ instead of https://rubygems.org/

Error Installing 'rhc' Rubygems on Windows

I'm trying to install and configure 'OpenShift' on Windows. I installed the necessary tools like: Git, RubyGem 2.x, but when I try to install 'rhc' ruby gem I got this error:
C:\>ruby -v

I've been searching this issue through the Internet, but it was unsuccessfully...
When I run the following command: $gem sources, I got this.

It seems like something is wrong here, but yes, I did what you think. I "added" the source but...

What should I do guys? I've been reading so many forums and other webpages, but none of them gave me a solution to that.
Additional information: Windows 7 (x64), Ruby 2.1.6 (actually I had installed Ruby 2.2, but I found in some forums that this issue can fixed just back to and old version of Ruby). I use a proxy to connect me to Internet.
Updating info.

So the important information that you shared in your comments (you're behind a proxy) means that you will have to set some environment variables in order to use rubygems through the proxy.
In cmd.exe use:
set http_proxy=http://user:password#proxy_ip:port
or in PowerShell:
$env:http_proxy=http://user:password#proxy_ip:port
There was a case where that format didn't work and a different format had to be used:
http_proxy = proxy_ip:port
http_proxy_user = user
http_proxy_pass = password
Domain Users:
Try without the Domain prefix first, unless you know that the default Domain isn't set or that your Domain isn't the default.
Using a Domain User Login and the domain\user format, the \ must be replaced using its percent-encoding equivalent counterpart: %5C.
http://domain%5Cuser:password#proxy_ip:port
It looks like rubygems.org was having problems around the time you posted this question.
However, it should be fixed now.

cannot load such file -- 2.2/gherkin_lexer_en, how to fix?

I need a little help. How do I resolve this problem?
When I call cucumber I get the following error:
*** WARNING: You must use ANSICON 1.31 or higher (https://github.com/adoxa/ansic

System:

I got answer:
https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/issues/830#issuecomment-90837546
I'm afraid Cucumber on Windows/Ruby requires ruby 2.0.0 (x86). The
reason is that the gherkin gem doesn't yet ship with compiled binaries
for more recent versions or Ruby, and not for x64.
We're working on a Gherkin3 which will address this issue. See this
post for background. I cannot give you an ETA, but it's at least a few
months away.
I download Ruby 2.0 x86 from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/
Install exe
Command in cmd: gem install calabash-android
ERROR: Error installing calabash-android:
The 'json' native gem requires installed build tools.
Download from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ DevKit-mingw64-32-4.7.2-20130224-1151-sfx.exe
Extract DevKit to path C:\Ruby200\DevKit
Run cd C:\Ruby200\DevKit
Run ruby dk.rb init
Run ruby dk.rb review
Run ruby dk.rb install
And again use command gem install calabash-android
I have simply solved by removing Gherkin and reinstalling it by bundle install
gem uninstall gherkin
>> select all
bundle install
This problem looks like this issue. Maybe you can resolve by following comments in it. (y)

"Could not find a valid gem in any repository" (rubygame and others)

I've been trying to install this 'rubygame' gem for some time, but whenever I use the command
gem install rubygame
it will give an error:
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'rubygame' (>= 0) in any repository
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
Errno::ETIMEDOUT: Connection timed out - connect(2) (http://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)
I've also tried other gems but with similar results:
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'rake' (>= 0) in any repository
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
Errno::ETIMEDOUT: Connection timed out - connect(2) (http://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)
I've already made sure I have an internet connection, and have already tried reinstalling both ruby and rubygems (currently using ruby 1.8, rubygems 1.7.2). Googling didn't help me at all. I would be very grateful if anyone can solve my problem. My sources list only shows http://rubygems.org
Check if you have "https://rubygems.org/" as a source to find gems at:
$ gem sources
*** CURRENT SOURCES ***
https://rubygems.org/
If not, you should be able to add it with
$ gem sources --add https://rubygems.org/
https://rubygems.org/ added to sources
Here are docs for the gem source command.
You can also add the source you want on the command whenever you have troubles using https, like this:
gem install GEMNAME --source http://rubygems.org
It's better to fix the SSL problem though.
are you behind any proxy?
check your browser for proxy that you might use:
execute the command: gem install xxx --http-proxy=http://user:password#server and you should be good to go.
You don't have an Internet connection to rubygems.org.
This happens sometimes if the site is down or blocked.
This command can show you if your connection has a way to reach rubygems.org:
traceroute rubygems.org
Maybe you should try
gem list -r
then
gem install -r rubygame
Also note that with rvmon MacosX (Lion in my case) you should install ruby-1.9.3-p194 (for Xcode 4.x compiler considerations) then
rvm rubygems current
and in my case I had to use
rvm use ruby-1.9.3-p194#global
(which contains bundler, rake, rubygems-bundlerand rvm)
and not
rvm use ruby-1.9.3-p194
(which is empty)
Can you post your versions?
ruby -v
#=> ruby 1.9.3p125 (2012-02-16 revision 34643) [x86_64-linux]
gem -v
#=> 1.8.19
If your gem command is not current, you can update it like this:
gem update --system
To see if you can connect to rubygems.org using Ruby:
require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
puts Net::HTTP.get URI.parse('https://rubygems.org')
If yes, that's good.
If no, then somehow Ruby is blocked from opening a net connection. Try these and see if any of them work:
curl https://rubygems.org
curl https://rubygems.org --local-port 1080
curl https://rubygems.org --local-port 8080
env | grep -i proxy
If you're using a company machine, or within a company firewall, or running your own firewall, you may need to use a proxy.
For info on Ruby and proxies see
http://www.linux-support.com/cms/http-proxies-and-ruby/
I have fixed this issue using the proxy command option of gem install. It has the following format:
$ gem install --http-proxy http://201.187.107.19:8080 rubygame
Note, the IP address and the port number refers to a proxy. You should search for a proxy list and use one of the proxies there.
This is site with proxies: http://www.cybersyndrome.net/pla5.html
Also, I have to try 7 or 8 different proxies in order to succeed. Do not give up.
Use :
gem sources --add http://rubygems.org/
Do you want to add this insecure source? [yn] [YES]
then use
gem install sass
and done
I know this is a little late, but I was also having this issue a while ago. This is what worked for me:
REALLY_GEM_UPDATE_SYSTEM=1
sudo gem update --system
sudo gem install rails
Hope this helps anyone else having this issue :)
I have tried most of the solutions suggested here but I had no luck.
I found a solution that worked for me, which was manually updating the gemfile to 2.6.7.
The guide on how to do is in guides.rubygems.org: installing-using-update-packages
Download rubygems-update-2.6.7.gem to your C:\
Now, using your Command Prompt:
C:\>gem install --local C:\rubygems-update-2.6.7.gem
C:\>update_rubygems --no-ri --no-rdoc
After this, gem --version should report the new update version (2.6.7).
You can now safely uninstall rubygems-update gem:
C:\>gem uninstall rubygems-update -x
Removing update_rubygems
Successfully uninstalled rubygems-update-2.6.7
The reason why this did not work before was because server used certificates SHA-1, now this was updated to SHA-2.
For what it is worth I came to this page because I had the same problem. I never got anywhere except some IMAP stuff that I don't understand. Then I remembered I had uninstalled privoxy on my ubuntu (because of some weird runtime error that mentioned 127.0.0.1:8118 when I used Daniel Kehoe's Rails template, https://github.com/RailsApps/rails3-application-templates [never discovered what it was]) and I hadn't changed my terminal to the state of no system wide proxy, under network proxy.
I know this may not be on-point but if I wound up here maybe other privoxy users can benefit too.
check your DNS settings ...I was facing similar problem ... when I checked my /etc/resolve.config file ,the name server was missing ... after adding it the problem gets resolved
This worked for me to bypass the proxy definitions:
1) become root
2) gem install -u gem_name gem_name
Hope you can work it out
I tried to install a gem which is for JRuby only, running into the same error. Using jruby's command worked then:
jruby -S gem install some_jruby_gem
If you are running behind the any firewall(if firewall blocking gem installation). just try following command it works.
gem install --http-proxy http://username:pwd#server:port gem
Make sure you type the command from the "App" Directory
It is a permission issue.
try with sudo

Can't install any gems

I have been doing JavaScript and some Erlang for around six months and I haven't done any Rails programming lately. Today on my new PC I went to install Rails but got this error:
gem install rails
WARNING: RubyGems 1.2+ index not found for:
http://gems.rubyforge.org/
RubyGems will revert to legacy indexes degrading performance.
Bulk updating Gem source index for: htp://gems.rubyforge.org/
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException)

A friend of mine said: "gem -v?" to which I responded "1.3.5". He suggested I update to 1.3.6 but I had the same problem. Then I installed a few gems for testing purposes from github.
I don't know if I'm missing a source or something, or if something changed drastically in gems.
Also:
gem sources -a htp://gemcutter.org/
Error fetching htp://gemcutter.org/:
SocketError: getaddrinfo: The system cannot find the file specified. (http://gemcutter.org/specs.4.8.gz)
For Mac OSX the solution that worked for me was:
sudo gem install rubygems-update --source http://production.s3.rubygems.org/
sudo gem update --system --source http://production.s3.rubygems.org/
It comes from some file on github of all places.
Try reinstalling rubygems from scratch here: http://rubygems.org/pages/download
RubyForge has been deprecated and may no longer be working properly. The other possibility is that when you tried to do this rubyforge or gemcutter was down, or otherwise not accessible over your network. You can also try seeing if you can reach the file on rubygems by entering it in your browser (to test your network): http://gemcutter.org/specs.4.8.gz
This question has previously been asked here: RubyGems 1.2+ index not found for:. It appears the problem was that rubyforge was blocked by China's firewall.
Good luck!
