==============================
Using the Let's Encrypt client
==============================
Quick start
===========
Using docker you can quickly get yourself a testing cert. From the
server that the domain your requesting a cert for resolves to,
download docker, and issue the following command
.. code-block:: shell
sudo docker run -it --rm -p 443:443 --name letsencrypt \
-v "/etc/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt" \
-v "/var/lib/letsencrypt:/var/lib/letsencrypt" \
quay.io/letsencrypt/lets-encrypt-preview:latest
And follow the instructions. Your new cert will be available in
``/etc/letsencrypt/certs``.
Prerequisites
=============
The demo code is supported and known to work on **Ubuntu and
Debian**. Therefore, prerequisites for other platforms listed below
are provided mainly for the :ref:`developers <hacking>` reference.
In general:
* ``sudo`` is required as a suggested way of running privileged process
* `SWIG`_ is required for compiling `M2Crypto`_
.. _new-swig:
.. note:: If your operating system uses SWIG 3.0.5+, you will need
to run ``pip install -r requirements-swig-3.0.5.txt -r
requirements.txt`` instead of the standard ``pip
install -r requirements.txt``.
* `Augeas`_ is required for the Python bindings
Ubuntu
------
.. code-block:: shell
sudo ./bootstrap/ubuntu.sh
Debian
------
.. code-block:: shell
sudo ./bootstrap/debian.sh
For squeeze you will need to:
- Use ``virtualenv --no-site-packages -p python`` instead of ``-p python2``.

Mac OSX
-------
.. code-block:: shell
sudo ./bootstrap/mac.sh
Fedora
------
.. code-block:: shell
sudo ./bootstrap/fedora.sh
.. note:: Fedora 22 uses SWIG 3.0.5+, use the :ref:`modified pip
command for installation <new-swig>`.
Centos 7
--------
.. code-block:: shell
sudo ./bootstrap/centos.sh
For installation run this modified command (note the trailing
backslash):
.. code-block:: shell
SWIG_FEATURES="-includeall -D__`uname -m`__-I/usr/include/openssl" \
./venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt functools32
Installation
============
.. code-block:: shell
virtualenv --no-site-packages -p python2 venv
./venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
Usage
=====
The letsencrypt commandline tool has a builtin help:
.. code-block:: shell
./venv/bin/letsencrypt --help
