No. The default Metabase setup requires just a working network
connection via HTTPS/SSL (*). Looking at the error below it seems that
LWP::Protocol::https does not work at all on your system. Maybe a
certificate issue? Or incompatible SSL modules installed on your system?
Can you check if something like
lwp-request -mHEAD https://www.google.com
works?

ETHER actually submitted a couple of reports last night.

(*) It's also possible to create a minimal setup using just a file
system for storing the reports, and submitting the reports from a
different system which has a full Metabase client setup.
