Building OpenSSL from source

The following instructions apply to Ubuntu only. For other platforms, such as Windows or macOS, refer to platform-specific instructions at Open SSL documentation. You can use the following guide to build the OpenSSL libraries on Ubuntu 20.04. An Ubuntu distribution running on WSL can also be used. Other Linux distributions may require different packages.
