Error when trying to install composer on Windows 10

Question

I'm trying to install composer on Windows but I get the following error:

The " https://getcomposer.org/versions " file could not be downloaded: SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages:

error: 1416F086: SSL routines: tls_process_server_certificate: certificate verify failed Failed to enable crypto failed to open stream: operation failed

Answer 1

Use Command and check certificate is exists or not:

php -r "print_r(openssl_get_cert_locations());"

You will get Output like this :

Array (

[default_cert_file] => /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/share/openssl/cert.pem [default_cert_file_env] => SSL_CERT_FILE [default_cert_dir] => /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/share/openssl/certs [default_cert_dir_env] => SSL_CERT_DIR [default_private_dir] =>/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/share/openssl/private [default_default_cert_area] =>/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/share/openssl [ini_cafile] => [ini_capath] => )

Check :

cert.pem file exists or not.

Answer 2

For me disabling the Antivirus solved the issue

• Disable Antivirus
• Close the terminal
• Reopen the Terminal and type "composer diagnose" to check if problem is solved.
• Re-enable Antivirus
