PHP wrapper for the Let's Encrypt api.

Use as terminal command
-----------------------

[](#use-as-terminal-command)

The command allows you to generate certificate files (pem and key). Installation into your webserver is still your own responsibility.

```
composer global require hyn/lets-encrypt

```

> Make sure to place the ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory in your PATH so the hyn-le executable can be located by your system.

You can now globally on your system use the command `hyn-le`.

### Requesting a certificate

[](#requesting-a-certificate)

Make sure you run this as a user who can write files to the public directory of the domain you're requesting a certificate for:

```
hyn-le certificate:request   --http  -a  -e

```

Use `hyn-le help certificate:request` for more information on all options.

Use as package
--------------

[](#use-as-package)

Allows further automation of SSL generation.

```
composer require hyn/lets-encrypt

```
