Hello everyone,

I am trying to generate a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for my domain via the DirectAdmin user panel, but I keep running into this error:

"Cannot Execute Your Request: /usr/local/bin/lego is required, exiting..."

It seems the lego client is missing or not properly installed on the server. Since I only have user-level access, I cannot run custom build scripts to install it myself.

Can someone confirm if this strictly requires root access to fix (so I should just contact my hosting provider), or if there is any workaround I can do from my end?

Thanks in advance for the help!
