Installing from source
----------------------
Pip
---
Installation from source is only supported for developers and the
whole process is described in the :doc:`contributing`.
.. warning:: Please do **not** use ``python certbot/setup.py install``, ``python pip
install certbot``, or ``easy_install certbot``. Please do **not** attempt the
installation commands as superuser/root and/or without virtual environment,
e.g. ``sudo python certbot/setup.py install``, ``sudo pip install``, ``sudo
./venv/bin/...``. These modes of operation might corrupt your operating
system and are **not supported** by the Certbot team!
Installing Certbot through pip is only supported on a best effort basis and
when using a virtual environment. Instructions for installing Certbot through
pip can be found at https://certbot.eff.org/instructions by selecting your
server software and then choosing "pip" in the "System" dropdown menu.
