Hi, when I am executing following commands to install Riot.Im in my server I am getting following errors I followed this link https://www.vultr.com/docs/create-a-chat-server-using-matrix-synapse-and-riot-on-centos-7#Setting_up_Let_s_Encrypt_Certificates".
But i got the error in configuring synapse as follows. As I am a learner in servers and python, all these errors are new for me. from what i understood. I missed something when i installed development tools. please help
