How to update OpenSSL on Ubuntu from OpenSSL 1.0.1f to OpenSSL 1.0.2g?

Question

I have a few steps to do this, but after executing the below steps still I'm getting the same Version.

ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ openssl version -v
OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ sudo wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.2g.tar.gz
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ sudo tar -xvzf openssl-1.0.2g.tar.gz
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ cd openssl-1.0.2g
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ sudo ./config
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ sudo make install
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ sudo ln -sf /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl openssl-1.0.2g
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ openssl version -v
OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014

Actually I excluded the results, but I didn't face any errors. Can you people give some inputs to me ?

Answer 1

Yes, Finally I got the solution. I did in two cases.

OpenSSL 1.0.1f to OpenSSL 1.0.2g

ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ openssl version -v
OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ sudo wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.2g.tar.gz
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ sudo tar -xvzf openssl-1.0.2g.tar.gz
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ cd openssl-1.0.2g
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ sudo apt-get update
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ sudo apt-get install gcc
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ sudo apt-get install make
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ sudo ./config
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ sudo make install
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ sudo ln -sf /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl `which openssl`
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ openssl version -v
OpenSSL 1.0.2g  1 Mar 2016  

OpenSSL 1.0.1g to OpenSSL 1.0.2l

ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ openssl version -v
OpenSSL 1.0.2g  1 Mar 2016
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ sudo wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.2l.tar.gz
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ sudo tar -xvzf openssl-1.0.2l.tar.gz
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ cd openssl-1.0.2l
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ sudo ./config
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ sudo make install
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ sudo ln -sf /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl `which openssl`
ubuntu@ip-XXXX:~$ openssl version -v
OpenSSL 1.0.2l  25 May 2017  

In first case update, gcc, make installations are required if you don't have in your machines. In case any Questions? please comment.

To update the OpenSSL version follow the below steps
Log into the machine and switch to the root as below
**sudo su**
Install the gcc module if not installed yet
**yum install gcc**
Switch to the location /usr/src/  
**cd  /usr/src/**
Change the openssl-1.1.1.tar.gz to the version which you want as below
**wget ​https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.1.tar.gz**
Extract the tar file as below
**tar -zxf openssl-1.1.1.tar.gz**
Switch to the extracted the directory
**cd /usr/src/openssl-1.1.1/**
Run the below commands by ignoring errors
**./config --prefix=/usr/local --openssldir=/usr/local/openssl**
**make**
**make test**
**make install**
**export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib64**
To make export permanent
**echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib64" > /etc/profile.d/ld_library_path.sh**
**chmod ugo+x /etc/profile.d/ld_library_path.sh**
Check the version  openssl version
Recommended reboot here  openssl version
