curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
the -k (or --insecure) option.

Ok, so the problem here is that curl is failing because of the certificate problem. Adding the -k flag to the curl call fixes the problem. I'll leave it here for the maintainers to decide what to do.

Is this issue with asciinema.org certificate or github.com one?

I have no idea. What does the script attempt to connect to?

Script connects to github. You can download it first, then ran with verbose output like this:

bash -x install

I am hitting same issue even with -k/--insecure flag:

Does this command trigger certificate error for you?

curl -sL https://asciinema.org/install

I think I created some confusion. When I added the -k flag to the curl invocation in the install script the problem was solved for me. I did not need the flag on the command line.

Then it's a problem with github.com certificate, or your OS (as I actually expect github to have the cert right).

Anyway, there's homebrew package so you can brew install asciinema instead of doing curl/sh thing.

OS X certainly seems to be more paranoid than whatever OS you're using.

Is there a macports version? I don't use brew.

Either way, this does not fix the problem as stated. The documentation needs updating or the problem otherwise resolving.

Installing via homebrew works fine; you might wanna be more thorough with your install script.

Ok, great. I'll try to detect OS X and display homebrew snippet as the recommended one.
