Install rails in windows machine: error fetching http://rubygems.org

Question

I'm trying to install rails on windows7. Rails not getting installed gem sources --add http://rubygems.org commands throws error like Error fetching http://rubygems.org timed out http://API.rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz

Can anyone help me resolve this.

Are you sure with what you wrote above? `gem sources --add http://rubygdms.org` or just typo? If it's typo correct it. — oj5th, Jul 10 '18 at 05:27

This could be solved by updating your rubygems to latest version.

gem update --system
