Solution

  • The following steps should help

    • Find out your gem version using gem --version
    • Depending on your version, download an update from one of the links below:

    Running 1.8.x: download 1.8.30

    Running 2.0.x: donwload 2.0.15

    Running 2.2.x: download 2.2.3

    • Move the file to the root of your drive(easiest to point to from cmd) C:\
    • Now using command prompt, enter the following:

    C:\>gem install --local C:\rubygems-update-1.8.30.gem

    NB: Change rubygems-update-1.8.30.gem to the name of the file you downloaded

    • Now enter this too when that is completed:

    C:\>update_rubygems --no-ri --no-rdoc

    • After this, gem --version should report the new update version you downloaded.
    • You can now safely uninstall rubygems-update gem:

    C:\>gem uninstall rubygems-update -x
