If you’re encountering an “OpenSSL not found” error, it typically means that the OpenSSL library or package is missing or not properly installed on your system.
OpenSSL is a widely used open-source cryptographic library that provides SSL/TLS encryption and other security-related functions.
To resolve this issue and ensure that OpenSSL is installed on your system, follow these general steps based on your operating system:
For Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):
- Open a terminal window.
- Run the following command to update your package repository:
sudo apt update
- Install OpenSSL by running:
For Linux (CentOS/RHEL):
- Open a terminal window.
- Update your system’s package repository
sudo yum update
- Install OpenSSL by running
sudo yum install openssl
For macOS (using Homebrew):
- Open a terminal window.
- Install Homebrew if you haven’t already by visiting Homebrew’s website(https:// brew. sh/) and following the installation instructions.
- Once Homebrew is installed, you can install OpenSSL by running
brew install openssl
For Windows:
If you’re using Windows, OpenSSL might not be pre-installed, but you can download and install it manually:
- Visit the OpenSSL website (https://www. openssl .org/) and download the appropriate installer for your Windows version (32-bit or 64-bit).
- Run the installer and follow the installation instructions.
After installing OpenSSL, you should no longer encounter the “OpenSSL not found” error. Make sure to restart any applications or services that rely on OpenSSL for encryption or other security-related functions to ensure they recognize the newly installed library.
Please note that the specific steps may vary depending on your Linux distribution or macOS version, so adjust them accordingly.
