Morning!
I have been trying to install eramba using the instructions for vmware and am getting some certificate based errors, wondering if someone may be able to help. I was able to deploy the OVA, boot and SSH into it. I was able to also confirm internet access using ping (ping 8.8.8.8 and [google.com](http://google.com) successfully). Below is the console output of the steps I followed from the website. It seems like the VM is having trouble trusting certificates of websites and fails. I’m still searching for a solution online as I’m guessing its a Ubuntu issue, but hoping someone in this group may have some suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated 🙂

Can you try to do curl -vv command so we have verbose output? Maybe we will be able to see something more there.
