    * Add the folder to [PATH](https://www.google.es/search?q=add+folder+to+PATH+on+Windows) variable

### CA Certificates on Windows (HTTPS):

To perform downloads using **HTTPS**, is necessary the ca-certificates. For default, Linux binaries read the certificates from **/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt**, but with Windows binaries are necessary define the path of certificates.

You can define the path of the certificates permanently using `aria2.conf` located on `C:\Users\<user>\.aria2\`. If you use Windows XP, the file is located on `C:\Documents and settings\<user>\.aria2\`. For example, you just have to add the following line:

`ca-certificate=C:\Program Files\aria2\certs\ca-certificates.crt`

If you prefer load the certificates manually, you can use the following command:

`C:\PATH\> aria2c --ca-certificate=<PATH-TO-CERTIFICATE> <URL>`

Also, is possible disable the use of certificates with the following command:

`C:\PATH\> aria2c --check-certificate=false <URL>`
