    In the step 4:

    I encountered an issue so I used "strace" to diagnostic ,and I got the following messages:
    ```
    access("~/.pki/nssdb/cert9.db", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    getcwd("/home/wen", 512) = 10
    stat("/home/wen/~/.pki/nssdb/cert9.db", 0x7fffb035e150) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    open("/home/wen/~/.pki/nssdb/cert9.db", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_CLOEXEC, 0644) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    open("/home/wen/~/.pki/nssdb/cert9.db", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    brk(0x1b9c000) = 0x1b9c000
    brk(0x1b85000) = 0x1b85000
    brk(0x1b69000) = 0x1b69000
    write(2, "certutil: ", 10certutil: ) = 10
    write(2, "function failed", 15function failed) = 15
    write(2, ": SEC_ERROR_BAD_DATABASE", 24: SEC_ERROR_BAD_DATABASE) = 24
    write(2, ": security library: bad database"..., 34: security library: bad database

    ```

    It seemed that I should use the pull path as the parameters for both of that '~/.pki/nssdb' and "CA.crt".
