It seems likely that this is also related to your hosting provider. Other users were able to proceed with setup by modifying PHP versions or making changes at [server level](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unknown-error-curl-error-60/). Can you please give that a try and let us know if you continue to experience this error? * EDIT: Apologies, this is a duplicate reply! - This reply was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by [Bethany Chobanian Lang](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mxbclang/).
