Hey,
I have an apache Webserver and want to use letsencrypt for https. I already tried alot but everytime I try to get the certificate with the letsencrypt-auto file it says
“Sorry, I donât know how to bootstrap Certbot on your operating system! You will need to install OS dependencies, configure virtualenv, and run pip install manually.
Please see [https://letsencrypt.readthedocs.org/en/latest/contributing.html#prerequisites](https://letsencrypt.readthedocs.org/en/latest/contributing.html#prerequisites) for more info.”
I tried like this [https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/how-to-set-up-letsencrypt-on-opensuse-13-2-tutorial/5580](https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/how-to-set-up-letsencrypt-on-opensuse-13-2-tutorial/5580)
I use SLES 12 SP2, apache 2.4, python 2.7

Could you show us your actual output from each step? openSUSE 13.x is a
fair bit older than SLES 12, so there may be some modifications needed to
get everything going.

Good luck.

You might want to have a look at [acme.sh](https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh) - it’s the ACME client protocol done all in a bash script. I’ve had no issues running it under SLES 12 SP3.
