  1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
  2. sudo apt-get update
  3. sudo apt-get install python-certbot-apache

    I had the same problem, although if you remove sudo at the beginning so it reads

    apt-get install python-certbot-apache

    It gives you a hint to the more up to date version.
    So, it should do it if you use

    sudo apt install python3-certbot-apache

    sudo apt install -y certbot python3-certbot-apache

    Certbot doesn’t support the apt-get installation on Ubuntu 14 anymore. But you still can install. To do it, log in to the server via SSH and run:

    wget https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto
sudo mv certbot-auto /usr/local/bin/certbot
sudo chown root /usr/local/bin/certbot
sudo chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/certbot

    Then use certbot as usual.

    Source: https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/pip-apache

    If you get an error like CryptographyDeprecationWarning: Support for your Python version is deprecated, then:

    # Remove the Certbot virtual environment
rm -r /opt/eff.org/certbot/

# Install a new version of Python 2.7
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.18/Python-2.7.18.tgz
tar xfz Python-2.7.18.tgz
cd Python-2.7.18/
sudo ./configure --prefix /usr/local/lib/python2.7.18
sudo make && sudo make install
cd ..
rm -r Python-2.7.18.tgz Python-2.7.18

# And run Certbot once with the new Python:
PATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7.18/bin:$PATH certbot renew

    Then run certbot as usual.

    On most recent Ubuntu releases, the Certbot and its Apache plugin can be installed with:

    sudo apt install -y certbot python3-certbot-apache

    (note the "python3", whereas most resources only mention "python")
