I have a question but don’t know where to open a new topic.

I’m installing awx with the manual from [Basic install - Ansible AWX Operator Documentation](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/awx-operator/en/latest/installation/basic-install.html)

When I do make deploy. I get the following message:  
administrator@NLDC01VS756:~/awx-operator$ make deploy  
curl: (77) error setting certificate file: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file  
tar: Child returned status 1  
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now  
make: \*\*\* [Makefile:161: kustomize] Error 2

Somebody had this in the past and know how i can fix this?

Did you see if that file exists locally, and what its contents are?

You should be able to regenerate it with `sudo update-ca-trust` or `sudo update-ca-certificates` depending on your os

I’m not sure what your issue is exactly, but I don’t have `/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt` either. I have `/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt` and `/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.trust.crt` on EL9.

On another note, you don’t necessarily _need_ to run `make deploy`. You can manually create a `kustomization.yaml` (from the very docs page you linked), and use that to install the operator on your k8s cluster.

@Hans,  
Thank you for your time! May we ask if you are behind a firewall by chance?
