Answer 1

RubyGems 2.4.1 will not build native extensions in Ruby version 1.9.3 and earlier on Windows.

You will need to downgrade RubyGems to 1.8.29. To do this run the following command:

gem update --system 1.8.29

Check gem version:

gem -v
1.8.29

Now try your command again:

gem install --local json-1.8.1.gem
