Now how can I make this URL trusted? Or force the download. I’m limited to command line as I’ve tried 5 different WSL downloads / installs from the App Store and couldn’t get desktop to run on any. I figured the Debian command line then would be the best to go with, but maybe that assumption was false.

Thanks! :smirk::sunglasses::grin::disappointed_relieved:

Hi @EnjoysMath,

first guess: is the instance all updated? Specifically the ca-certificates package.

@TheYoctoJester I dk how to do that. I’m just going to try to install a Linux on a spare machine. Can you recommend one that won’t give me a bunch of hassle trying to do mender artifact creation?

Thanks! :tired_face:
