## CLI Examples
Assumes the `lego` binary has permission to bind to ports 80 and 443.
You can get a pre-built binary from the [releases](https://github.com/go-acme/lego/releases) page.
If your environment does not allow you to bind to these ports, please read [Port Usage](usage/cli#port-usage).
### Obtain a certificate
```bash
lego --email="foo@bar.com" --domains="example.com" --http run
```
(Find your certificate in the `.lego` folder of current working directory.)
### To renew the certificate
```bash
lego --email="foo@bar.com" --domains="example.com" --http renew
```
### To renew the certificate only if it expires within 45 days
```bash
lego --email="foo@bar.com" --domains="example.com" --http renew --days 45
```
### To renew the certificate (and hook)
The hook is executed only when the certificates are effectively renewed.
```bash
lego --email="foo@bar.com" --domains="example.com" --http renew --renew-hook="./myscript.sh"
```
Some information are added to the environment variables when the hook is used:
- `LEGO_ACCOUNT_EMAIL`: the email of the account.
- `LEGO_CERT_DOMAIN`: the main domain of the certificate.
- `LEGO_CERT_PATH`: the path of the certificate.
- `LEGO_CERT_KEY_PATH`: the path of the certificate key.
### Obtain a certificate using the DNS challenge
```bash
AWS_REGION=us-east-1 \
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=my_id \
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=my_key \
lego --email="foo@bar.com" --domains="example.com" --dns="route53" run
```
### Obtain a certificate given a certificate signing request (CSR) generated by something else
```bash
lego --email="foo@bar.com" --http --csr=/path/to/csr.pem run
```
(lego will infer the domains to be validated based on the contents of the CSR, so make sure the CSR's Common Name and optional SubjectAltNames are set correctly.)
## Misc HTTP-01 CLI Examples
### Write HTTP-01 token to already "served" directory
If you have an existing server running on port 80 the `--http` option needs to also use the `--http.webroot` option.
This just writes the token to the given directory in the folder `.well-known/acme-challenge` and does not start a server.
The given directory **should** be publicly served as `/` on the domain(s) for the validation to complete.
If the given directory is not publicly served you will have to support rewriting the request to the directory;
You could also implement a rewrite to rewrite `.well-known/acme-challenge` to the given directory `.well-known/acme-challenge`.
You should be able to run an existing webserver on port 80 and have lego write the token file with the HTTP-01 challenge key authorization to `<webroot dir>/.well-known/acme-challenge/` by running something like:
```bash
lego --accept-tos -m foo@bar.com --http --http.webroot /path/to/webroot -d example.com run
```
