CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED error after installing whisper.

[gludescu]

Hey guys,

I ran the pip install git+https://github.com/openai/whisper.git command & installed the required libraries, rust and whatever needed, as instructed.
Running pip list --outdated it shows:

tokenizers 0.12.1  0.13.0 wheel
whisper    1.0     1.1.10 sdist

When running whisper audio.mp3 in terminal (macOS) it returns a certificate error. Not sure why.

Error:

g ~ whisper audio.mp3

Can you please advise? Not finding anything online that could help with this issue.
Thank you.

Never mind. Had to go to /Applications/Python3.10 and run 'Install Certificates.command'. All good now.
