So… unable to instal. Please advise.
Did you enable the EPEL repository as those instructions indicated?
Yes. First I get this:
#yum -y install yum-utils

What does yum repolist say? Can you yum install fortune-mod? (the legendary fortune cookie generator, like certbot available only in EPEL)
If you do a ‘yum list|grep certbot’, you will find the packages now start with python2…
Therefore install python2-certbot-apache
Good catch. I’m not sure why this package doesn’t provide python-certbot-apache as an alias as most RHEL users would expect for python packages. (The python2- prefix is not used in mainline RHEL and just sneaks its way in from recent Fedora packages.)
@schoen @bmw : could these instructions be changed to suggest yum install certbot-apache instead? That is a valid alias that will work on both Fedora and EPEL and is a bit nicer to type.
