Installing let's encrypt on Amazon Linux2023

Question

I am trying to get SSL certificate with let's encrypt nginx. First, I added epel using the commands ```$ wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm``` and
```$ sudo rpm -ihv --nodeps ./epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm``` and it was added with no problem then I used ```
sudo yum install python3-certbot-nginx```  and got the error message:
```
Problem: package certbot-1.22.0-1.el8.noarch requires python3-certbot = 1.22.0-1.el8, but none of the providers can be installed
  - conflicting requests
  - nothing provides python3.6dist(setuptools) >= 39.0.1 needed by python3-certbot-1.22.0-1.el8.noarch
  - nothing provides python3.6dist(cryptography) >= 2.5.0 needed by python3-certbot-1.22.0-1.el8.noarch
  - nothing provides python3.6dist(configobj) >= 5.0.6 needed by python3-certbot-1.22.0-1.el8.noarch
  - nothing provides python3.6dist(distro) >= 1.0.1 needed by python3-certbot-1.22.0-1.el8.noarch
  - nothing provides /usr/bin/python3.6 needed by python3-certbot-1.22.0-1.el8.noarch
  - nothing provides python3.6dist(pytz) needed by python3-certbot-1.22.0-1.el8.noarch
  - nothing provides python(abi) = 3.6 needed by python3-certbot-1.22.0-1.el8.noarch
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)
```
I also tried  
```
sudo dnf install python3-certbot-nginx
```
I learned i may need a Code ready builder but haven't been able to install it. Please how can I get it. If that is not the issue, please what I'm I doing wrong and how can I resolve it?

Answer

Hello,

Please refer to the steps in this [link](https://certbot.eff.org/instructions?ws=nginx&os=pip) to setup certbot via pip. The steps work fine on Amazon Linux 2023.

I hope this helps.
