couldn't download packages from registry.npmjs.org and ftp.gnu.org

npm error code SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN npm error errno SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN npm error request to https://registry.npmjs.org/mongodb failed, reason: self-signed certificate in certificate chain  

It's useless and inefficient to copy the `node_modules` to the userVM since my laptop is arm64 based. It could be more efficient if I was  prototyping on the userVM since it had all the necessary datasets from your platform. I also had no other amd64 arch based machine to build a container so I could just use it in the userVM.  (The docker cross-arch compiling could kill my laptop since it took days and weeks. Maybe the cpu of my laptop was not powerful, it's really a bad experience for me)

The same issue happened when I tried to build a container to get some gnu tools (https://ftp.gnu.org) to compile.   Some help, please.

Thank you !
