#### Builtin trust store
RouterOS comes with a builtin trust store with several CA certificates.
If you intend **not** to trust this store jump to
[download and import certificate](#download-and-import-certificate) now.
Select the `fetch` command to trust these builtin certificates at
least, but make sure not to drop other targets:
/certificate/settings/set builtin-trust-store=fetch;
> 💡️ **Hint**: With RouterOS 7.20.x and before the functionality was
> different. Set the trust for the builtin trust anchors:
> `/certificate/settings/set builtin-trust-anchors=trusted;`
You can skip the steps regarding *download and import certificate* and
jump to [installation of scripts](#installation-of-scripts) now.
#### Download and import certificate
If you intend to download the scripts from a
different location (for example from github.com) install the corresponding
certificate chain.
