First of all you should have root access.

You can run as root or using sudo.

If you are using the Windows Subsystem for Linux you can issue the commands with sudo.

For this recipe we will need :

• wget
• curl
• apt-get
• sudo
• ca-certificates

Lets start.

$ sudo apt-get install ca-certificates
