71 - Add helpful logging for certification failure

[chadcromwell]

Background

When attempting to download a matterport the following error occured:

ssl.SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:997)

Solution

This issue was resolved by taking the following steps:

• Navigatie to the directory Python is installed
• Run the Install Certificates.command script
• Try downloading again

Proposed Changes

• I've added in a try catch around the initiateDownload function
• The catch checks if the error message contains certificate verify failed, if it does, it will print a helpful hint after logging the error, which is: Have you tried running the Install Certificates.command file in the python folder?

Issues affected

Closes #71

@SportsApps It works sometimes, but fails more often than not. It looks like the project is no longer being maintained.
