 In `GPGStrict` mode, ghcup will fail if verification fails. In `GPGLax` mode it will just print a warning.
 You can also pass the mode via `ghcup --gpg <strict|lax|none>`.

+# Troubleshooting
+
+## Script immediately exits on windows
+
+There are two possible reasons:
+
+1. your company blocks the script (some have a whitelist)... ask your administrator
+2. your Antivirus or Windows Defender interfere with the installation. Disable them temporarily.
+
+## C compiler cannot create executables
+
+### Darwin
+
+You need to update your XCode command line tools, e.g. [like this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34617452/how-to-update-xcode-from-command-line).
+
+## Certificate authority errors (curl)
+
+If your certificates are outdated or improperly configured, curl may be unable
+to download ghcup.
+
+There are two known workarounds:
+
+1. Tell curl to ignore certificate errors (dangerous): `curl -k https://gitlab.haskell.org/haskell/ghcup-hs/-/raw/master/scripts/bootstrap/bootstrap-haskell | GHCUP_CURL_OPTS="-k" sh`
+2. Try to use wget instead: `wget -O /dev/stdout https://gitlab.haskell.org/haskell/ghcup-hs/-/raw/master/scripts/bootstrap/bootstrap-haskell | BOOTSTRAP_HASKELL_DOWNLOADER=wget sh`
+
+On windows, you can disable curl like so:
+
+```pwsh
+Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force;[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072;Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock ([ScriptBlock]::Create((Invoke-WebRequest https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/sh/bootstrap-haskell.ps1 -UseBasicParsing))) -ArgumentList $true
+```
