unable to verify the first certificate

[CedricChing]

When I tried to execute ’npm install‘ command to download the dependencies, the error from node-gyp occurred.
'gyp ERR! stack FetchError: request to https://nodejs.org/download/release/v20.11.1/node-v20.11.1-headers.tar.gz failed, reason: unable to verify the first certificate'

Here's the version
node v20.11.1
npm v10.2.4
node-gyp v10.0.1

it's an urgent issue for me, looking forward to your reply. : )

Hello! For me, it helped to disable and re-enable this property - npm config set strict-ssl false => npm config set strict-ssl true

The solution from @PaulWeb30 as strange it seems works for me as well.
