Build/Run Requirements:

• Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition (or higher)
• A local instance of IIS installed.
• To build the current release version use the release branch: https://github.com/webprofusion/certify/tree/release, master is the current work in progress.
• fetch any submodules using:

git submodule sync
git submodule update --init --recursive --remote

• To build, first build the submodule for ACMESharp under /src/lib/ACMESharp - this will restore the required nuget packages.
• Restoring NuGet packages using "Update-Package -reinstall" can be useful where nuget restore fails.
• The app needs to run as Administrator, otherwise it cannot access IIS, write to the IIS website root paths or manage the windows certificate store.
• The UI needs the background service to be running. You cna configure Visual Studio to launch both the Certify.UI project and the Certify.Service project via Solution > Properties > Multiple Startup Projects

Note: For testing you will require a publicly accessible IP mapped to the domain/subdomain you want to test with. The Let's Encrypt service will need to be able to access your test site remotely via HTTP in order to complete authorisation challenges. The app consists of a UI and background service. The background service must be running for the UI to operatre. The develop/debug you can configure Visual Studio to launch both the UI and Service - Right Click the Solution > Properties> Startup Project, Set Certify.UI and Certify.Service to 'Start', then debug as normal. apps {at} webprofusion.com
