The default in Debian is to not install `sudo` for bare-metal installations. As such, a Debian Jesse/stable minimalist installation doesn't have `sudo`, because there's a password set for `root`.\r\n\r\nShould `letsencrypt-auto` depend on sudo? Or just say \"Run me as root\"? Or, optionally list the packages that need to be installed?\r\n\r\nFor completeness, this is the entire output from `letsencrypt-auto`:\r\n\r\n```\r\nindrora@zaibatsutel:~/letsencrypt$ ./letsencrypt-auto \r\nBootstrapping dependencies for Debian-based OSes...\r\n./letsencrypt-auto: 40: ./letsencrypt-auto: sudo: not found\r\n```\r\n\r\nAlternately, would a message of \"sudo isn't there, using su -c '...'\" be appropriate?"}}
