System Requirements
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
The Let's Encrypt Client presently only runs on Unix-ish OSes that include
|
||||
Python 2.6 or 2.7; Python 3.x support will hopefully be added in the future. The
|
||||
client requires root access in order to write to ``/etc/letsencrypt``,
|
||||
``/var/log/letsencrypt``, ``/var/lib/letsencrypt``; to bind to ports 80 and 443
|
||||
(if you use the ``standalone`` plugin) and to read and modify webserver
|
||||
configurations (if you use the ``apache`` or ``nginx`` plugins). If none of
|
||||
these apply to you, it is theoretically possible to run without root privileges,
|
||||
but for most users who want to avoid running an ACME client as root, either
|
||||
`letsencrypt-nosudo <https://github.com/diafygi/letsencrypt-nosudo>`_ or
|
||||
`simp_le <https://github.com/kuba/simp_le>`_ are more appropriate choices.
|
||||
|
||||
The Apache plugin currently requires a Debian-based OS with augeas version
|
||||
1.0; this includes Ubuntu 12.04+ and Debian 7+.

installing Certbot directly with pip from PyPI or downloading a ZIP
