Error when using dbt deps to install (dbt_utils) package

The problem I’m having

The context of why I’m trying to do this

What I’ve already tried

Some example code or error messages

Put code inside backticks
  to preserve indentation
    which is especially important 
      for Python and YAML! 

I am trying to install the dbt_utils package and I got this error out of running the (dbt deps) : 23:59:10 Running with dbt=1.7.18
23:59:15 Encountered an error:
External connection exception occurred: HTTPSConnectionPool(host=‘hub.getdbt.com’, port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/v1/index.json (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, ‘[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1006)’)))

This is my packages.yml contents:
packages:

  • package: dbt-labs/dbt_utils
    version: 1.1.1
