Answer 1

For those using WampServer, open the php.ini file then scroll down to the bottom and add the following:

curl.cainfo = "C:\wamp\bin\php\php7.2.3\cacert.pem"

Make sure you have the cacert.pem file in the folder of the current php version you are using. In my case, I have it in the php7.2.3 folder.
