I'm having the following error after installing ruby on Windows 8, I've already uninstalled it several times, fired commands like gem cleanup, removed .gem folder, ruby folder, environment variables, btut nothing seems to work.
Here are the logs of the errors I am encountering

Note: This question relates to How can I get bundler to use the Ruby version set by chruby and .ruby-version?.
Using chruby I have Ruby 1.8.7 installed on macOS:
$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2013-06-27 patchlevel 374) [i686-darwin17.4.0]
Also, I have used gem update --system 1.8.30 to install a specific version of RubyGems which I am hoping is compatible. This would appear to be installed properly:
$ gem --version
1.8.30
However, my RubyGems environment shows the incorrect version of Ruby (2.5.0):
$ gem env
RubyGems Environment:
- RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.8.30
- RUBY VERSION: 2.5.0 (2017-12-25 patchlevel 0) [x86_64-darwin17]
- INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /Users/keithpitty/.gem/ruby/1.8.7
- RUBY EXECUTABLE: /usr/local/opt/ruby/bin/ruby
- EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /Users/keithpitty/.gem/ruby/1.8.7/bin
- RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS:

- :backtrace => false

How can I fix the RubyGems environment to use the version of Ruby that chruby has set?
My missing step was installing RubyGems 1.6.2 from source. Following advice elsewhere from Dan Cheail, I did the following:
curl -O https://rubygems.org/rubygems/rubygems-1.6.2.tgz
(and then unzipped it)
cd rubygems-1.6.2
chruby ruby-1.8.7-p374
ruby setup.rb
gem update --system 1.8.25
And then my RubyGems environment was fixed:
$ gem env

I have Ruby installed on my work PC 1.9.3 version and Gem 1.8.24 but when I try to install Rails I get the following error:
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::ENOENT)
No such file or directory - C:/Users/B"k"nyi Szabolcs
Can I fix this without creating a new Windows User?
Thanks for the help in advance.
My Windows user folder name is : Bökönyi Szabolcs
gem env says:

It seems I figured it out and the only problem was with the accent so instead of SET HOME %USERPROFILE% I used SET HOME="C:/Users/Bökönyi Szabolcs" and now the gem install rails works.
I'm using Ruby's Command prompt. I cannot install any update, but internet navigation seems to be working.
I have no proxy here.

What could be wrong?
Here is my environment:
C:\Ruby\bin>gem env

First run (with administrator privileges):
gem update --system
Then run the update for activesupport.
I have that error one time, because i was behind a proxy, in that case, put:
gem update --http-proxy http://web.proxy.uri --system
The definitive guide to installing Jekyll seems to be https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll where it says:
gem install jekyll
I am getting an
ERROR: could not find gem jekyll locally or in a repository
regardless of whether I run that command as superuser or not.
gem env Returns the following:

I have also tried specifying github as the source with no luck. What else should I be trying?
You are using a very outdated version of RubyGems.
First, update the sources:
$ gem sources --clear-all
$ gem sources --add http://rubygems.org
$ gem sources --add http://gems.github.com
Then try to install it.
You should also login as a superuser and update the RubyGems version.
The current release is 1.3.7.
When I type:
gem env
on my Windows system, it produces this info:

When I go to the GEM path:
C:\Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems
I see many gem folders with all of the installed gems. But when I type
gem list local
I get an empty listing:
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
Why are the gems not findable?
I'm not sure, but i think the command is
gem list --local
gem list local tells RubyGems to list all gems whose name starts with the string local. (See gem help list for details.) Do you have any gems with that name installed? Otherwise, it's not really surprising that the list is empty.
