Hi there, I am getting following error when I try to install pytrec_eval either using pip install or when trying to install python-terrier:

is the date/time on your machine wrong? doesnt seem like a pytrec_eval issue, its Python complaining about github's certificate.

@Ali-H-Vahid I know this error! Most likely you are behind an SSL proxy so rather than getting NIST's SSL certificate, you are getting the certificate of the proxy which is not trusted by urllib.request.

Probably the easiest work around is to clone this repository with the --recurse-submodules flag to also pull down the trec_eval code and then run pip install .
