Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.
I ran this command: ```
sudo certbot -d $DOMAIN -d $WILDCARD --manual --preferred-challenges dns certonly
It produced this output: sudo: certbot: command not found
My web server is (include version):
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Amazon Lightsail
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know): putty ssh
I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): no
The version of my client is (e.g. output of `certbot --version` or `certbot-auto --version` if you're using Certbot): certbot: command not found
This was returned: ls: cannot access /usr/bin/certbot: No such file or directory
I used this command to install: ```
sudo apt-get install certbot -y
I did it again and I see now it's returning an error:

E: Unable to locate package certbot
The Wordpress is using Bitnami. I’m working from an SSH session using putty.
I just ran all the steps again and they all seemed to succeed except the cert request.
I wonder if there’s an issue with Amazon’s Lightsail install.
This looks like an error that you would see if you skipped step 5 or 6, or if either of these steps failed. Are you sure that you followed step 5 in the tutorial?

OK
IIRC, the PPA no longer contains packages for Ubuntu Trusty. The Trusty PPA still exists, so enabling it doesn’t produce an error, but it’s empty.
@jackdlarue, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty is an old OS that’s out of standard support. (You have to pay Canonical for Extended Security Maintenance.)
The method you’re using to install Certbot no longer works on Trusty, and that tutorial seems to be using the supported (though not current) Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial.
To use Certbot, you should upgrade to another OS. Alternatively, you can use a different ACME client that still supports Trusty.
Well, the Amazon Lightsail service is like a shared VPS host but I could engage their support to either upgrade the OS or remove the tutorial. Any suggestions for an alternate ACME client with Trusty support?
