dovecot - Nov 2020 - Trying to install certbot on CentOS

Following the advice obtained here, I am trying to get a LetsEncrypt 
certificate.

These are the instructions:

Step 1:
https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snapd

Step 2:
https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/centosrhel7-apache

My problem is this error message:

# snap install --classic certbot

error: system does not fully support snapd: cannot mount squashfs image 
using "squashfs": mount:
 ?????? /tmp/sanity-squashfs-881328484: failed to setup loop device: No 
such file or directory

Apparently, RedHat/CentOS are not supporters of snap.

TIA

OS: CentOS 7

What's the problem? 


Certbot is in epel.

install the epel-repository and run a simple yum install certbot. :-)

Apparently, the epel-version is 1.9.0, which seems to be the most recent version
anyway.
