Most of the times a Zlib::GzipFile::Error means RubyGems had issues parsing the response of the server.

This happens when your internet connection/configuration is behind a proxy that RubyGems is not aware of.

Please look at your internet options to determine the proxy configuration (it will look like http://user:pass@proxyserver:8080/ or similar (user, pass, proxyserver and port are examples)

Once you have that information, you can tell RubyGems to use that:

gem install rails --http-proxy=http://user:pass@proxyserver:8080

Or you can set it as environment variable:

SET HTTP_PROXY=http://user:pass@proxyserver:8080/

See gem help install for more details on the proxy documentation.

I found out how to install it just add --ignore-dependencies at the end.

gem install rails --ignore-dependencies
