I want to use Let's Encrypt to create a certificate for my website. I have the client installed locally on my dev machine and would like to generate the cert and move it.

For stand-alone webserver installation, the Let's Encrypt documentation says I must specify the path to the web root. But that path doesn't exist locally.

Is it possible to generate the cert locally? Or should I attempt to install let's encrypt on the host?

LE needs to connect to the IP your domain points to in order to completes its challenge/response domain verification. In order for this to work, you'll need to modify your DNS to point to your Dev server, which I would guess you'd like to avoid doing? :)
