Hello, I try to install a course for swirl and got a SSL problem:> install_from_swirl("R Programming")Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE) : SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain Found this answer with Google but does not work either:> set_config( config( ssl.verifypeer = 0L ) )Error: could not find function "set_config" What do I do to avoid or accept the SSL certificate?

You should ask its author. If it is using the "wininet" method to download from an https site, then it is Windows that is issuing the error: you may be able to configure Internet Explorer to avoid it. Ask Microsoft how.
