I have installed conda using brew on a Mac. Python and brew are installed in the following path,

which python >> /opt/homebrew/anaconda3/bin/python

which brew >> /opt/homebrew/bin/brew

Now as I am trying to create a python virtual environment, I am getting following error.

I have tried, python -m pip install pip-system-certs pip install certifi pip install --upgrade certifi

None worked. Can someone please give me an easy to follow instructions? Thank you.
