This is a discussion about letsencypt-auto, not the underlying letsencrypt&#x2F;certbot program. Here&#x27;s what the docs said about letsencrypt-auto:<p>&quot;Because not all operating systems have packages yet, we   provide a temporary solution via the letsencrypt-auto wrapper script, which obtains some dependencies from your OS and puts others in a python virtual environment: &lt;instructions to download and run letsencrypt-auto&gt;&quot;<p>If users don&#x27;t read the label before downloading and running a script, they might be surprised by what it does. But we&#x27;ve learned that users don&#x27;t read those instructions and get upset anyway, so cerbot-auto now asks for additional interactive permission before installing things.
