Issue
I am trying to install cassandra on debian following this
running:
curl -L https://debian.datastax.com/debian/repo_key | sudo apt-key add -
gives me errors:
0curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
Solution
This error is generated when cURL can't verify the cert provided by the server. You can get around this by using the -k option that will allow ssl connections without verifying the cert. Since you can presumably trust datastax you can just call curl like this.
curl -L -k https://debian.datastax.com/debian/repo_key | sudo apt-key add -
So you know there is a better more secure way to fix this by downloading he cacert.pem files off curl.haxx.se and add these certs to your /etc/ssl/certs/nodesource-ca.crt file. That should fix the actual issue as opposed to getting around it using -k
