Unable to get local issuer certificate

[GiulianoColosimo]

Hello. I am trying to use rgee. Installation went fine (as far as I ca tell).
I got to the point were I can run the following command and get the following output.

`>library(reticulate)

library(rgee)
ee_check()
◉ Python version
✔ [Ok] /Users/giulianocolosimo/.virtualenvs/rgee/bin/python v3.12
◉ Python packages:
✔ [Ok] numpy
✔ [Ok] earthengine-api
Error in if (!ee_current_version == ee_version()) { :
argument is of length zero`

The final error is not optimal, but I am not sure that is the issue. The issue starts when I run

`> ee_Initialize()

I spent the last 36 hours reading blogs and doing stuff, including following this link, but without much success!

For the record, I am running R version 4.3.2 (2023-10-31) -- "Eye Holes"

Platform: aarch64-apple-darwin20 (64-bit)

Do you happen to know what may be the issue and how I can fix it?

Cheers

regarding the version warning, I wonder if it is linked to the pull request: #372 which was accepted?

see if the error persists installing the development version?

library(remotes)
install_github("r-spatial/rgee")

Hi Matthieu.
I have tried to use remotes and install from github. The warning is gone, but the error persists!

[MatthieuStigler]

too bad, but yes that was supposed to affect only the warnings. maybe you want to repost the error message, without all the clutter from the warnings? And confirm the version of the api you are using?

[GiulianoColosimo]

Hi Matthieu. Here is the de-cluttered error I still get. The ee API is 1.5.4.
