Installation

Binaries

To get the binary, download the latest release for your OS/Arch from the release page and put the binary somewhere convenient.

lego does not assume anything about the location you run it from.

docker run goacme/lego -h

pacman -S lego

yay -S lego-bin

sudo snap install lego

Note: The snap can only write to the /var/snap/lego/common/.lego directory.

pkg install lego

You can enable GURU repository and then:

emerge app-crypt/lego

brew install lego

pkg install lego

pkg_add lego

The lego maintainers are only maintaining the AUR and Snap packages, the other packages are community maintained.

go install github.com/go-acme/lego/v5@latest

git clone git@github.com:go-acme/lego.git
cd lego
