This is an error due to SSL certificates and you would need to manually specify a SSL certificate for ruby. Here are the exact steps to fix this issue:

  • Download the cacert.pem file and save this file to C:\RailsInstaller\cacert.pem
  • Open System in Control Panel Go to
  • Advanced System Settings Click on Environment Variables Define a new
  • System Variable with SSL_CERT_FILE=C:\RailsInstaller\cacert.pem
  • Close and reopen your command prompt for allowing the changes to take place
