I also want to know how to solve this problem - > curl: (60) SSL certificate problem:

A common issue seems to be that Julia uses curl to download stuff, so if you have a broken curl in your PATH it will break package installation.

In particular, I’ve noticed that on MacOS people who install Anaconda often have a broken curl when their Anaconda installation gets old, especially if the update to a newer OS version. BinaryProvider was recently patched to use /usr/bin/curl on MacOS for this reason, but I don’t think that fix is in a tagged release yet:

In the meantime, you can type which curl to see what curl is in your PATH, and if it isn’t /usr/bin/curl you might want to change your PATH.

I am on Mac OSX. I changed the path from a conda directory so that which curl now gives /usr/bin/curl as suggested, but it did not resolve this issue: MbedTLS will not install with add, and it cannot be found when I try to build.

I would be grateful for any other ideas, as I can’t use Julia 1.4 properly until I fix this.

Thanks in advance

What is your exact error message? What is Sys.which("curl") in Julia?

#6

Thanks. You helped me find it. Works now.
