How to build and install openssl 1.1.1 on any Linux System – Example on RHEL 7 ?
In this post, we will see how to build and install Openssl on RHEL 7.
Lets see this step by step.
1. First download the package from below URL.
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/tree/OpenSSL_1_1_1-stable
2. Unzip and configure the package.
# unzip openssl-OpenSSL_1_1_1-stable.zip # cd openssl-OpenSSL_1_1_1-stable ### Here --prefix shows the path where we want to install the package. # ./config --prefix=/cds/ngelinux/tools/openssl/
3. Now build the package and try to run binary from bin directory.
# make # make install # cd ../openssl/bin/ # ./openssl
4. Review the installed files.
[user@ngelinux001{none}]/cds/ngelinux/tools/openssl$ ls -ltr

drwxr-xr-x 4 user ngegroup 4096 Sep 1 13:35 share
[user@ngelinux001{none}]/cds/ngelinux/tools/openssl$ cd bin
[user@ngelinux001{none}]/cds/ngelinux/tools/openssl/bin$ ls -ltr

-rwxr-xr-x 1 user ngegroup 749904 Sep 1 13:35 openssl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user ngegroup 6205 Sep 1 13:35 c_rehash
5. Install the missing library if any.
