php - cURL error 60: ssl certification issue when attempting to use symfony

Question

I have recently gotten a new windows computer and have installed the php symfony framework.

When attempting to use the new command C:> php symfony new blog I receive the error message [GuzzleHttpRingExceptionRingException] cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate.

I am clueless on what to do in this instance as I am not too experienced with the CMD interface.

I need to know if this is an error with windows or with symfony itself and any possible routes I could take in fixing it.

Follow this link, Copy the entire page and save it in a: "cacert.pem"

Then in your php.ini file insert or edit the following line: curl.cainfo = "[pathtothisfile]cacert.pem"

Or

use composer instead Symfony installer
