I am installing Elasticsearch on Amazon Linux 2 EC2 instances, and using the latest version of ES 8.2.3. When I run:
```auto
sudo systemctl status elasticsearch.service
```
ES shows as running on all three, but when I check:
```auto
$ curl --cacert /etc/elasticsearch/certs/http_ca.crt -u elastic https://localhost:9200
```
I get
```auto
curl: (77) error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile: /etc/elasticsearch/certs/http_ca.crt CApath: none
```
I am very new to ES, any guidance on this issue?

Sort of resolved, had to run the sudo the curl command. Now I am getting a different issue that I have yet to research.
