This specific error comes from the libcurl library. I imagine we could detect 
the associated error code and supplement the message with more actionable 
advice.  If anyone is up for figuring that out, a PR would be welcome.

How you fix this problem is going to vary depending on what OS you're on. 
- Mac & Windows installations will use the macOS Keychain or Windows 
Certificate Store (the same one used by Edge or Firefox).
- Linux and other Unix installations use the openssl certificate directory. By 
default that is probably in /etc/ssl/certs or /etc/pki/tls/certs but may vary 
by distribution. Having the ca-certificates package (ubuntu) or equivalent is 
usually sufficient.

Sometimes TLS validation also fails if the CA certs are fine but the system 
time is incorrect.
