Install SASS using gem on Windows 8

Question

I am trying to install SASS on Windows 8 x64, but still getting errors, even when my firewall is switched off.

I make this command:

C:\Ruby200-x64\bin>gem install sass
(or C:\Ruby200-x64\bin>ruby -S gem install sass)

I get this response:

ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'sass' (>= 0), here is why:
          Unable to download data from http://rubygems.org/ - Errno::EACCES: Per
mission denied - connect(2) (http://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)

Does anybody know how to solve this problem, please?

This is work for me. Try this...

gem source -a http://rubygems.org/

answer y to the question "Do you want to add this insecure source?"

then you can use command...

gem install sass

good luck, guy!

Problem solved

Even if Norton Security was disabled, Windows firewall was disabled, still was getting this error. After uninstalling Norton Security it worked.

Try running your console with administrative privileges.

Do you just log in as an admin and launch the console via left mouse click? Or you use the "Run as administrator" option of the right click menu? – Andrey Mikhaylov - lolmaus Apr 22 '13 at 07:08
