I am using curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable to install RVM. I get an error saying

CAfile: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
CApath: none

I searched a bit on the Internet and found that changing the permissions of /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt should get the job done. But whole /etc/pki directory is missing from my system. How can I fix it?

On ubuntu/debian, this file is in /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt. You could symlink it. The /etc/pki/ path is used on Redhat.

    i have ubuntu 15.04 n faced the issue while installing the web app framework: meteor.js(curl install.meteor.com | sh) I fixed it as you instructed. But which command or tool is looking for certificates in /etc/pki if this convention is going on for so many years?

    Different Linux distributions use different paths. Debian uses one, RedHat another.

Simply create a ~/.curlrc file.

Then add the following lines to the file:

capath=/etc/ssl/certs/
cacert=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Feel free to adjust those paths as necessary, as different Linux distributions may use different paths.

(Worked for Ubuntu 14.04).
