I can't seem to figure out how to run 

 curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s

And not get an error. I have a mac osx mavericks and the error I get is this:

% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle" of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file using the --cacert option. If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might not match the domain name in the URL). If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use the -k (or --insecure) option.

I tried using --insecure and I tried --cacert to the .pem file here:

http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html

I cant seem to install certutil. I just can't figure it out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • I appreciate it. i tried these commands `cert_file=$(ruby -ropenssl -e 'puts OpenSSL::X509::DEFAULT_CERT_FILE')` and `security find-certificate -a -p > "$cert_file"` but on the second command I got `-bash: /System/Library/OpenSSL/cert.pem: Permission denied` so I can't seem to get past this point – spike74 Nov 12 '13 at 01:40
  • you can use `cert_file=/tmp/cert.pem` and then `sudo cp /tmp/cert.pem /System/Library/OpenSSL/cert.pem` – mpapis Nov 12 '13 at 03:09
  • After performing those two commands I get `cp: /tmp/cert.pem: No such file or directory`. Is there an issue with the certificate not being created? – spike74 Nov 12 '13 at 14:21
  • I'm sorry, you need to mix it with the other code, first set cert to temp path, then generate it and finally `sudo cp` it to proper path – mpapis Nov 12 '13 at 20:55
  • @mpapis : can you provide more insight to your last comment – tech savvy Jul 10 '15 at 09:27
  • run `echo insecure > ~/.curlrc`, install rvm, run `sed -i'' -e '/insecure/ d' ~/.rvmrc` and follow instructions in: http://stackoverflow.com/a/19151697/497756 – mpapis Jul 10 '15 at 11:17
