sounds like your network is proxied via some other connection, or something going on with the network in general

Google the error message and see what people recommend, I found this thread

I found this recommendation

conda config --set ssl_verify false 

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33699577/conda-update-fails-with-ssl-error-certificate-verify-failed

after you do the above follow the step by step installation

this error is quite the puzzler and not related to the code in the Handbook.

What often happens is that there is some sort of antivirus software or the internet connection goes through a VPN etc. Or perhaps the computer you work with is provided by an institution that runs various administrative tools on it that restrict certain kinds of access.

Sometimes the internet connection provided by an entity has various unexpected limits, and working from home for example solves the problem.

Those would be my recommendations.
