No package python3-certbot-apache available | Resolved

Have you been having trouble with the following error message?

No package python3-certbot-apache available

According to our experts, this error means that the Certbot Apache plugin package is not found in our system’s package repository. This may be due to different reasons.

Let’s take a look at some of these reasons and how to fix them:

• Before installing any package, it’s a good idea to update our system’s package lists to make sure we have the latest information about available packages. So, run this command:
  • For Debian/Ubuntu
    sudo apt update
  • For CentOS/Red Hat
    sudo yum update
• Furthermore, the package name for the Certbot Apache plugin may vary depending on our Linux distribution. We have to make sure we are using the correct package name for our system. This is done by searching the package with the package manager’s search functionality.

  For example:

  • For Debian/Ubuntu
    apt search python3-certbot-apache
  • For CentOS/Red Hat
    yum search python3-certbot-apache

  In case the package is missing and we are using Ubuntu, we need to add Certbot PPA to the system.
  This PPA offers up-to-date Certbot packages, including plugins. So, run these commands to add the PPA:

  
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
sudo apt-get update

  Then, try installing the Certbot Apache plugin again:

  sudo apt-get install python3-certbot-apache

  If this does not work, try using Pip to install the plugin. First, install pip:

  sudo apt install python3-pip

  Then, use pip to install the plugin:

  sudo pip3 install certbot-apache

  This will install the Certbot Apache plugin from the Python Package Index (PyPI).
  After installing the Certbot Apache plugin, we can use it with Certbot to manage SSL/TLS certificates for the Apache web server.
