To upgrade the version of openssl in the Linux system, you can follow these steps:

  1. Firstly, ensure that the system is connected to the internet and has sudo privileges.
  2. Open the terminal window and run the following command to update the system software package list:
sudo apt update
  1. Then, execute the following command to install the latest version of openssl:
sudo apt install openssl
  1. To confirm that OpenSSL has been successfully installed, you can run the following command to check the OpenSSL version:
openssl version
  1. If an older version of OpenSSL is already installed in the system, a reboot of the system or relevant services may be needed for the new version to take effect.

By following the above steps, you can upgrade the OpenSSL version to the latest in a Linux system. If you are using a different Linux distribution, you can follow similar steps to do so.
