Why won't my gem install when creating a new Ruby on Rails App?

Question

I'm on a Windows Operating System and I'm trying to create a new Rails app.

When I run rails new, it starts to create the files needed to make the app and then it brings up an error saying that the Rake gem wasn't able to be pulled from the Rubygem website.

Anybody know what the problem could be?

Here's what returned in my command line:

Try to update rubygems

gem update --system

then bundle install again

As a workaround, you could bypass the certificate validation by removing the 's' from https://rubygems.org/ --> http://rubygems.org/
