Jenkins - Getting error when clicking available plugins check now button

Question

I have downloaded jenkins in local (Mac OS Sierra) and running locally When I go to Jenkins > Manage jenkins> Manage plugins > Available tab Strangely the available tab does not have any plugins. There is a Check Now button. When I click the button, I am getting the following error I started Jenkins via this commandsudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist
