Answer 1

To give you a summary of things you need to do:

Download OpenSSL package for x64-windows (since you're using x64 version of Ruby): http://packages.openknapsack.org/openssl/openssl-1.0.0k-x64-windows.tar.lzma Extract the package, as indicated in several RubyInstaller posts Proceed again with gem installation and point to the directory where you extracted OpenSSL

The commands will be something like this:

C:\>mkdir C:\MyDir\x64-windows
C:\>cd C:\MyDir\x64-windows
C:\MyDir\x64-windows>bsdtar --lzma -xf openssl-1.0.0k-x64-windows.tar.lzma
C:\>gem install puma --platform=ruby -- --with-opt-dir=C:/MyDir/x64-windows
