Downloading geoid in a grid format

Hello everyone
kind of a newbie here…
tried to download earth_geoid_01m_p.grd using the gmt 6.5.0 package from github, got this response:
grdinfo [ERROR]: Remote download is currently deactivated
grdinfo [ERROR]: Unable to obtain remote file @earth_geoid_01m
grdinfo [ERROR]: Must specify one or more input files
tried to change the gmt.conf file but ut didnt help.
is anybody familiar with this? would like to get some help.
thanks

Can you specify the command that you ran? With error output.
