GitHub - vinyll/certbot-install: Install the latest Certbot in a breeze. Great for Ubuntu Focal 20.04, and other Linux/Mac.

Certbot installer

Install latest version of certbot.

This makes Certbot is useful with the latest Ubuntu—still very helpful with Ubuntu25.10. Probably for latest Debian as well and is also valid for older Ubuntu 21.04 / 21.10.

How to Install

Run the following command with a sudoer:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vinyll/certbot-install/master/install.sh | bash

If you meet any error, see the Troubleshooting section below.

How to Uninstall

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vinyll/certbot-install/master/uninstall.sh | bash

Why this instead of the official install?

You may prefer the regular installation of certbot from official PPA.

However, if you experiment the following error with some Ubuntu releases, this install will prevent and solve.

AttributeError: module 'acme.challenges' has no attribute 'TLSSNI01'

This is also interesting if you need to work with the latest release of certbot at all.

Troubleshooting

Error: error: command '/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit code 1:

sudo apt install -y libaugeas-dev
