How to overcome UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY when installing sentry with npm or curl

Question

curl -sL -k https://sentry.io/get-cli/ | bash

As you can see, i am even asking NOT to verify the certificate with -k, but still can't install it.

This script will automatically install sentry-cli 1.72.2 for you. Installation path: /usr/local/bin/sentry-cli curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate More details here: https://curl.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and how to fix it, please visit the web page mentioned above.

What can be causing the issue? I have the Same with npm and yarn, see below

npm install @sentry/cli

npm ERR! info sentry-cli Downloading from https://downloads.sentry-cdn.com/sentry-cli/1.72.2/sentry-cli-Windows-x86_64.exe
npm ERR! Error: Unable to download sentry-cli binary from https://downloads.sentry-cdn.com/sentry-cli/1.72.2/sentry-cli-Windows-x86_64.exe.
npm ERR! Error code: UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY

I tried :

npm config set strict-ssl=false 
npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/
set NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 

albeit no success

From what i read here it might be a proxy problem. But how do i get to know but i don't understand exactly how to know what is my proxy or the path the my pem certificate

Answer 1

Ok disabling internet security provider during the time of the installation worked for me
