### openSUSE Tumbleweed
Installing [`certbot`](https://software.opensuse.org/download/package?package=certbot&project=home%3Aecsos%3Aserver) and its NGINX plugin on openSUSE Tumbleweed was just straightforward:
```auto
zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:ecsos:server/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/home:ecsos:server.repo
zypper refresh
zypper install certbot
```
Then, install `python36-certbot-nginx` and finally run:
```auto
sudo certbot --nginx
```
### SLE 15 SP2
But I’m trying to do the same on SLE 15 SP2. I tried:
- openSUSE backports repo
- openSUSE Leap 15.2 repos
- Instructions [here](https://en.opensuse.org/Let%C3%82%C2%92s_Encrypt)
- Couldn’t figure out how to use [this](https://packagehub.suse.com/packages/certbot/) by command-line
- …
What am I missing? Is there a convenient way to install `certbot` and its NGINX plugin by the command line on SLE 15 SP2?

@Megidd Hi and welcome to the Forum 🙂
You need to use SUSE Package hub for the python3 dependencies;
```auto
SUSEConnect -p PackageHub/15.2/x86_64
```

@malcolmlewis Thanks! 🙂
I come from openSUSE world and not familiar with `SUSEConnect` command at all! I guess I will have to get to know it!

These commands installed the `certbot` on SLE 15 SP2:
```auto
sudo SUSEConnect -p PackageHub/15.2/x86_64
sudo zypper ref
sudo zypper install python3-certbot python3-certbot-nginx
```
And then, this command enabled HTTPS for all the servers handled by NGINX:
```auto
sudo certbot --nginx
```
