Renewing LetsEncrypt certificate issue

Question

When I do...  
sudo lego --tls --email="email@domain.us" --domains="domain.us" --path="/etc/lego" renew  
  
Receive error;  
You have to pass an account (email address) to the program using --email or -m  
  
Please advice....

Answer

I was able to solve this problem by downloading and installing the new lego client

Answer

I am not an expert on Let's Encrypt, but depending on the shell you are using the double quotes may not be sufficient to escape some of the special characters in that command line. You might try using single quotes around the values:

```
sudo lego --tls --email='email@domain.us' --domains='domain.us' --path='/etc/lego' renew
```

Also, as others have suggested, the Lego forum might be a better place to get support for that tool.  
  
I hope this helps!

Answer

I would suggest asking that question on a lego support forum or logging an issue on their tracker.  
  
it really has nothing to do with Lightsail.
