I'm getting an exception error every time that I try to install this gem

gem 'puma'

Error that I'm receiving Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

It looks like you’re missing the openssl dependencies. Do you have the Ruby DevKit installed and in your path? Check out http://rubyinstaller.org/add-ons/devkit/

I had to install the gem with openssl and also change my devkit path. It's fixed now, thank.
