Nothing broken.
#How to install
All configurations are 100% compatible between `le.sh` and `acme.sh`. You just need to uninstall `le.sh` and re-install `acme.sh` again.
Nothing will be broken during the process.
# How to install
### 1. Install online:
Check this project:https://github.com/Neilpang/get.acme.sh
```
```bash
curl https://get.acme.sh | bash
```
Or:
```
```bash
wget -O - https://get.acme.sh | bash
```
### 2. Or, Install from git:
Clone this project:
```
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh.git
cd acme.sh
cd ./acme.sh
./acme.sh --install
```
You don't have to be root then, although it is recommended.
You `don't have to be root` then, although `it is recommended`.
The installer will perform 3 actions:
Which does 3 jobs:
* create and copy `acme.sh` to your home dir: `~/.acme.sh/`
All the certs will be placed in this folder.
* create alias : `acme.sh=~/.acme.sh/acme.sh`.
* create everyday cron job to check and renew the cert if needed.
1. Create and copy `acme.sh` to your home dir (`$HOME`): `~/.acme.sh/`.
All certs will be placed in this folder.
2. Create alia for: `acme.sh=~/.acme.sh/acme.sh`.
3. Create everyday cron job to check and renew the cert if needed.
Cron entry example:
```bash
0 0 * * * "/home/user/.acme.sh"/acme.sh --cron --home "/home/user/.acme.sh" > /dev/null
```
After install, you must close current terminal and reopen again to make the alias take effect.

# Issue ECC certificate:
LetsEncrypt now can issue ECDSA certificate.
`Let's Encrypt` now can issue **ECDSA** certificates.
And we also support it.
Just set the `length` parameter with a prefix `ec-`.
For example:
Single domain:
```
acme.sh --issue -w /home/wwwroot/aa.com -d aa.com --keylength ec-256
```
### Single domain ECC cerfiticate:
SAN multiple domains:
```bash
acme.sh --issue -w /home/wwwroot/aa.com -d aa.com --keylength ec-256
```
acme.sh --issue -w /home/wwwroot/aa.com -d aa.com -d www.aa.com --keylength ec-256
SAN multi domain ECC certificate:
```bash
acme.sh --issue -w /home/wwwroot/aa.com -d aa.com -d www.aa.com --keylength ec-256
```
Please look at the last parameter above.
Valid values are:
1. ec-256 (prime256v1, "ECDSA P-256")
2. ec-384 (secp384r1, "ECDSA P-384")
3. ec-521 (secp521r1, "ECDSA P-521", which is not supported by letsencrypt yet.)
1. **ec-256 (prime256v1, "ECDSA P-256")**
2. **ec-384 (secp384r1, "ECDSA P-384")**
3. **ec-521 (secp521r1, "ECDSA P-521", which is not supported by Let's Encrypt yet.)**
