environment variable "CAKE_SETTINGS_SKIPVERIFICATION=true",
read more about configuration at https://cakebuild.net/docs/fundamentals/configuration)
can anyone tell me where should I have to configure the environment variables to avoid above mentioned error?

You can set an environment variable a few different ways...
## Powershell
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('CAKE_SETTINGS_SKIPVERIFICATION', 'true',[System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)
Using the Windows UI,
