Error 'UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY'

Question

I hope you can help me. I've been having the following error for a few days in the 'node .' command:

node:internal/process/promises:289
            triggerUncaughtException(err, true /* fromPromise */);
            ^

Error: unable to get local issuer certificate
    at TLSSocket.onConnectSecure (node:_tls_wrap:1674:34)
    at TLSSocket.emit (node:events:518:28)
    at TLSSocket._finishInit (node:_tls_wrap:1085:8)
    at ssl.onhandshakedone (node:_tls_wrap:871:12) {
  code: 'UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY'
}

I have already tried different ways of resolving what I found in the communities, but so far none have been effective.

NPM Version: v10.4.0 | Node Version: v20.11.0. | Discod.JS Version: v14.14.1.

Disabling strict SSL will likely solve the issue and is safe as long as you are on a secure network.

npm config set strict-ssl false
