System Requirements
===================
The Let's Encrypt Client presently only runs on Unix-ish OSes that include
Python 2.6 or 2.7; Python 3.x support will be added after the Public Beta
launch. The client requires root access in order to write to
``/etc/letsencrypt``, ``/var/log/letsencrypt``, ``/var/lib/letsencrypt``; to
bind to ports 80 and 443 (if you use the ``standalone`` plugin) and to read and
modify webserver configurations (if you use the ``apache`` or ``nginx``
plugins). If none of these apply to you, it is theoretically possible to run
without root privilegess, but for most users who want to avoid running an ACME
client as root, either `letsencrypt-nosudo
<https://github.com/diafygi/letsencrypt-nosudo>`_ or `simp_le
<https://github.com/kuba/simp_le>`_ are more appropriate choices.
The Apache plugin currently requires a Debian-based OS with augeas version
1.0; this includes Ubuntu 12.04+ and Debian 7+.
