I’m trying to install the ActiveRecord gem, but getting the following:

C:\Users\Abder-Rahman\Desktop\Research\dicom\>gem install activerecord  
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)  
too many connection resets  
([http://production.cf.rubygems.org/gems/tzinfo-0](http://production.cf.rubygems.org/gems/tzinfo-0)  
3.23.gem)

How can I get this gem installed?

Thanks.

I ran the command again and got the following:

The gem installed properly, what failed is generate the ri  
documentation. you can turn that off doing “gem install acitverecord –  
no-ri --no-rdoc”

Either you’re behind a proxy (look into “gem help install” for --http-  
proxy details) or your internet connection is blocking Amazon/  
CloudFront CDN HTTP downloads.
