no-user-cfg install -prefix=/private/tmp/certbot-homebrew-virtualenv-201901 – homebrew error text: => python2.7 -c import setuptools. I really don’t need a newer machine for any other reason - the old Mini does just fine at handling the extremely light load - but if I can’t resolve this it looks like I’ll have to drop back to using unsecured HTTP, which rather defeats the purpose of the whole “Let’s Encrypt” project. So what I’d really like is to know if there is a way to install a current version of certbot without needing to use Homebrew, since Homebrew have abandoned the version of Mac OS I need to run it on. I tried manually installing a number of things along the way which Homebrew refused to manage, but even with (apparently) everything it needs, the homebrew upgrade process for certbot fails (with the error quoted at the end of this message if anyone is interested)


Unfortunately, in the time between installing certbot and being prompted to upgrade it, Homebrew have started aggressively not-supporting older Mac OS versions, which means that the instructions to use Homebrew to update will no longer work.
#Homebrew for mac os x 10.7.5 how to
When I started getting emails about the end of life for TLS-SNI-01, I looked here for instructions on how to ensure my certbot client was not depending on TLS-SNI-01, and the first thing it said was to update certbot. I run a very light duty webserver - currently using Certbot - on an old Mac Mini which cannot run anything above Mac OS 10.7.5.
