hs init error

I am having so much trouble getting the HubSpot CLI to work on my work machine. At first I got the error that hs.ps1 was not signed. I've been able to work around that by using either "npx hs" or "powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -File C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\npm\hs.ps1".

When trying to execute hs init (using either of the above methods), I was getting an extended axios error which boiled down to self-signed-cert-in-chain. From the error message, it appeared to be trying to reach https://api.hubapi.com/content/filemapper/v1/cms-cli-usage, so I navigated to that site in the browser, downloaded the cert, installed the cert.

Now I get this super helpful error when attempting "hs init": [ERROR] The request failed.

Any suggestions? My initial thought was it was VPN related, but it's very hard to tell.

Hey, @Anya23 👋 I've had issues like this in the past, and it turned out to be something my internal IT team had to assist with due to some hidden permissions on installing external software and libraries. Please let us know if you make any progress or find a solution. — Jaycee
