I recently needed to document how to get a version of it installed  so I ve copied my steps here  as the other answers were using different sources from what I recommend  which is Cygwin   I like Cygwin because it is well maintained and provides a wealth of other utilities for Windows  Cygwin also allows you to easily update the versions as needed when vulnerabilities are fixed   Please update your version of OpenSSL often  Open a Windows Command prompt and check to see if you have OpenSSL installed by entering  openssl version If you get an error message that the command is NOT recognized  then install OpenSSL by referring to Cygwin following the summary steps below  Basically  download and run the Cygwin Windows Setup App to install and to update as needed the OpenSSL application   Select an install directory  such as C  cygwin64   Choose a download mirror such as  http   mirror cs vt edu Enter in openssl into the search and select it  You can also select un-select other items of interest at this time  The click Next twice then click Finish  After installing  you need to edit the PATH variable  On Windows  you can access the System Control Center by pressing  Windows Key   Pause  In the System window  click  Advanced System Settings   Advanced  tab    Environment Variables  For Windows 10  a quick access is to enter  quot Edit the system environment variables quot  in the Start Search of Windows and click the button  quot Environment Variables quot   Change the PATH variable  double-click on it or Select and  Edit   and add the path where your Cywgwin is  e g   C  cygwin bin  Verify you have it installed via a new Command Prompt window  openssl version  For example  C  Program Files mosquitto gt openssl versionOpenSSL 1 1 1f  31 Mar 2020  If not  refer to the Cygwin  documentation and also other tutorials such as  https   www eclipse org 4diac documentation html installation cygwin html
