bqt add-on plugget install error: SSL CERTIFICATE VERIFY FAILED

[stacyrch2019]

The bqt add-on shows an error when I try to run the script in blender.

Hi. This doesn't seem to be a bqt error. Since bqt doesnt use ssl certificates or the request library. You might have another plugin with a bug.

My mistake, just saw this,

and realized this is related to the plugget installer mentioned on https://github.com/techartorg/bqt/wiki/install-bqt-addon.

for now, as a work around, you can install bqt manually, see the wiki install page.
will investigate and see what the issue is.

note to self, check out this thread that talks about SSL VERIFY error in python 3.6
note that the python version in this issue is 3.10

reading this article it seems this might relate to git. the author might not have git installed.
however AFAIK this is related to the requests library, so not yet reliying on git. perhaps a git install automatically sets up a SSL cert? which then can be used by the requests lib.
