title: Generate a certificate with letsencrypt locally
body: <p>I'm new to generating certificates and using letsencrypt, so I'm not sure if this is a dumb question or even possible.</p>
  
  <p>I want to create a small example webapplication using node.js. And I want to test how to implement https, and how to get a proper certificate.</p>
  
  <p>So I tried to use letsencrypt. But it doesn't seem to work.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using my local machine (win10) and I'm cloning the git. Afterwards I try to execute the command <code>./letsencrypt-auto</code> but windows won't recognize the script as a command.</p>
  
  <p>How is it possible to use letsencrypt locally on my win10 machine, where no webserver (usually) is running.</p>
