You can skip the certificate check by adding the --no-check-certificate parameter.

For example, the command that reports the error:

wget https://dlcdn.apache.org/maven/maven-3/3.8.5/binaries/apache-maven-3.8.5-bin.tar.gz

Change it to:

wget --no-check-certificate https://dlcdn.apache.org/maven/maven-3/3.8.5/binaries/apache-maven-3.8.5-bin.tar.gz
