The above error tells you that /tmp/root.pem file cannot be open. You
have specified that file name in the "root_certificate" option. Does it
exist? If not, you should create it. The URL below gives the following
description for the "root_certificate" option:

It looks like you can simply omit this option if you are OK with
self-signed certificates and do not need Polygraph robots to check
server certificates.
