Error while initializing pysr 1.3.1

[Clemrmd]

Environment Details:

• Operating System: Windows-10
• Python Version: 3.12.7
• PySR Version: 1.3.1
• package installer: pip

My Problem:

Hello, I'm encountering an error when using the new PySR version. The initialization is failing.
I am unfamiliar with Julia, but it seems there is a broken dependency:

Looks like there is a cert issue:

>│   exception = RequestError: schannel: CertGetCertificateChain trust error CERT_TRUST_IS_UNTRUSTED_ROOT while requesting https://pkg.julialang.org/registries

Can you download from command line normally for other stuff? Is there any firewall in place?

[Clemrmd]

What do you mean by "download"?
I can download and install python modules with pip but I don't know the juliapkg download routine.
There's a firewall but it's managed by my organization, I'm not the administrator of my computer.

I have no problem running version 0.19.4
Thank you for your help.

[MilesCranmer]

Can you start

C:\\Users\\Clemrmd\\AppData\\Local\\miniconda3\\julia_env\\pyjuliapkg\\install\\bin\\julia.exe

(avoiding the double backslash)

And then run using Pkg; Pkg.update()?

[Clemrmd]

Initialization of pysr works after executing your command in the julia prompt.
The warning about the certificate is still there, but this time the package manager manages to download the modules and pysr 1.* can be launched.
Thanks for your responsive help
