Error: SASS installation for windows
am trying to install sass after installing ruby, but iam getting following error, please help me to fix this
maradhak@WW730VW7X1688 /c/softwares
$ gem -v
2.2.2
maradhak@WW730VW7X1688 /c/softwares
$ gem install sass
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'sass' (>= 0), here is why:
Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/ - SSL_connect retur
ned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed (
https://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)
The error has something to do with being vulnerable to the Poodle SSL bug, it will not be verified for that reason. If there's a way to upgrade to a better certificate, but at the time of writing this answer, I could not find the upgraded certificate.
I used the non-SSL host instead, altough I should note that this is not the best nor a permanent solution, it lacks security.
The command used:
gem source -a http://rubygems.org/
A discussion about this subject can be found here: https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/issues/515#issuecomment-65326585
Update: There seems to be a permanent solution now, which replaces the certificate with a proper protected one. It can be found on the following URL, an tutorial is included in that page. https://gist.github.com/luislavena/f064211759ee0f806c88#installing-using-update-packages-new
Short answer:
gem sources -a http://rubygems.org/
Confirm than you don't really care about that specific warning, since you trust rubygems.org. Then:
gem install sass
And it works.
