wp cli - WP-CLI - How to install a plugin from a remote server

I'm trying to install a plugin that i downloaded and i host on my server inside a vagrant box to use locally.

I'm running this command to try to install it:

wp plugin install .zip

but it fails with this error:

Downloading install package from example/hosted/plugin.zip... Warning: Download failed. "stream_socket_client(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:14090086:SSL routines:ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify failed stream_socket_client(): Failed to enable crypto stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to ssl://example:443 (Unknown error)" Error: No plugins installed.

It's clear to me that the issue is because the site is using an ssl certificate and the wp-cli can't trust it, but how can i solve this? how do i make the wp-cli trust the server?

Thanks

wp plugin install https://example.tld/path-to-zip-file/file.zip

This fails because example port 443 was blocked or example may be have no SSL certificate.

If you try now, you will get

Warning: Download failed. "Not Found" Error: No plugins installed.
