I am following AWS Linux 2 documentation on setting up Lets Encrypt, but have ran into an issue and was hoping someone could help. [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/SSL-on-amazon-linux-2.html#letsencrypt](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/SSL-on-amazon-linux-2.html#letsencrypt)

After Installing Cerbot:

sudo yum install -y certbot python2-certbot-apache

I try to run CertBot with the following command:

sudo certbot

I get the following error: sudo: certbot: command not found

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

What was the output of the `yum install` command? Did it actually succeed?

Also the following:

```
rpm -qa | grep certbot
```

I checked the error during installation and I was running out of ram. Had to temporarily stop some services. Now its all good. Thanks!
