Error: Fail authorize rsconnect-python local machine

Hello everyone,

Error presented:
Checking shinyapps.io credential... [ERROR]
Error: Failed to verify with shinyapps.io (Exception trying to connect to https://api.shinyapps.io - [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:997)).

Running the command, with appropriate info filled in from my account:

rsconnect add --account <ACCOUNT> --name <NAME> --token <TOKEN> --secret <SECRET>

I'm attempting to finish initial setup of rsconnect on my local machine (Mac M1).
I am using: Chapter 2 Getting Started | shinyapps.io user guide

I have attempted to follow method 1 in a virtual env and outside of the env.

What steps can I take to complete this step?

Resolved by installing/running "Applications/Python 3.10/Install Certificates.command" on local machine. Followed the same methods as listed above. Able to authorize computer.
