How to install OpenSSL

1. Check the current OpenSSL version

To check the OpenSSL version on your machine, use this command in Terminal (macOS) or Command Prompt (Windows):

openssl version

virtualUSB requires this version: OpenSSL 1.0.2t 10 Sep 2019

2. Check if .zshrc or .bashrc already exists:

If you're not sure which shell you're using, use the following command:

echo $SHELL

If you get response like /bin/zsh then you're using zsh shell on your Mac, you will need to use .zshrc.

To check if .zshrc file already exists:

ll -a ~/ | grep zshrc

If you don’t see any result, you will need to create a new one, to create new .zshrc file in /User/$USER/, use this command:

touch ~/.zsh

3. How to install OpenSSL 1.0.2t

First, install Homebrew and wget on your machine. If you have installed Homebrew and wget, skip the steps below.

If you are using Mac with M1 processor (for Mac with Intel processor, please scroll down):

You need to install or update Rosetta:
Go to ~/Applications folder, duplicate your favorite terminal and rename the newly created terminal.
Right-click on the newly created terminal, click Get Info and check the option “Open using Rosetta”:

Going onward, we'll always use the Rosetta terminal.

Install Homebrew:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Add Homebrew shell configuration:

echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> ~/.zshrc

Source zshrc:
```
source ~/.zshrc
```
Install wget:
```
brew install wget
```

- If you are using Mac with Intel processor:

Install Homebrew:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Source zshrc:
```
source ~/.zshrc
```
Install wget:
```
brew install wget
```

Finally, to install OpenSSL, follow these steps:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rbenv/homebrew-tap/master/Formula/openssl%401.0.rb

# Edit above file, remove this code `system "make", "test"` (line 42) and save

brew install openssl@1.0.rb

brew reinstall openssl@1.0.rb

ln -sfn /usr/local/Cellar/openssl@1.0/1.0.2t/lib/libssl.dylib /usr/local/lib/libssl.dylib

sudo cp /usr/local/Cellar/openssl@1.0/1.0.2t/bin/openssl /usr/local/bin/

# Add these to .bashrc or .zshrc
echo 'export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.0/lib' >> ~/.zshrc
echo 'export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.0/include' >> ~/.zshrc

# Source zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

# Close Rosetta terminal and open again to check openssl version
openssl version
