hello everyone,
i have a problem when i try to open Certbot:

dbservizi@odoo-linux:~$ certbot

ImportError: cannot import name 'implements' from 'zope.interface' (/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/zope/interface/__init__.py)

i am trying to start Certbot on ubuntu 22.04.2
I tried searching for a similar error but couldn't find anything
excuse my English

Hi @CustomerDB, and welcome to the LE community forum :slight_smile:

Excuse my English also :wink:

I'd first remove the apt version of certbot and install the recommended version [via snap]:

apt remove certbot

Then see full installation instructions at: https://certbot.eff.org/
