Installation Error Certificate_Verify_Failed

Hi @julesp ,

This looks like your company’s firewall or Virtual Private Network is blocking you from running the pip install commands that are used by the free installer.gh. You have 3 possible options to getting the new Ladybug Tools installed on your machine:

  1. Get your company or IT department to make an exception in their firewall or VPN for the Python Package Manager PyPI (aka pip).
  2. Ask your IT department how to pass your VPN credentials along with the pip commands that are being run in the installer.gh file. Hack line 376 of the second component in the installer.gh file to include these credentials in the pip commands that are being called.
  3. Have your company purchase a single-click executable installer like the one that you see mentioned in the release notes by emailing info@ladybug.tools.

I realize that I am biased but, if you have never used the Python package manager before, I would really recommend the last one. It will almost certainly avoid several hours of back and forth with your IT department.
