Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The first step to Rubygems(http://rubygems.org/) then download sass on（http://rubygems.org/gems/sass） put in: npm install

Answer 3

Changing from http to https makes your computer vulnerable to hackers

I explain some solutions in my answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40075753/845413

If you found this error by searching and are using RVM on OSX just run.

rvm osx-ssl-certs update all

Bundler outlines a few other solutions in their troubleshooting guide for this error: http://bundler.io/v1.16/guides/rubygems_tls_ssl_troubleshooting_guide.html#troubleshooting-certificate-errors

and include...

gem install bundler
gem update --system

Finally, you can simply reinstall RVM or rubygems manually.

Manually install Ruby gems: https://rubygems.org/pages/download

Manually install RVM (recommended): http://rvm.io/

Answer 4

Install a full fledged Cygwin on your windows, the ssh support is good in it. You should be able to install it without any extra efforts, well I always do. In fact once you have Cygwin install you would hardly use the command prompt.

Answer 5

I also encountered the same problem today。

Running gem install sass returned

ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'sass' (>= 0), here is why:Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/ -SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3read server certificate B: certificate verify failed(https://api.rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)

Then I find a way to fix it:

1. gem sources -a http://rubygems.org/
2. gem install sass

Adding http://rubygems.org/ to sources solves this.

Here is a capture of my terminal

Answer 6

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
