Why 'apt-get install openssl' did not install last version of OpenSSL?

Question

When I use 'apt-get install openssl', my Ubuntu 16.04 install OpenSSL 1.0.2g version. I expect to install 1.1.0 versions.

Why is not install 1.1.0 version? How can i install the last version?

Thanks.

You should choose the version you want to install on the OpenSSL's site. It seems you want to install the 1.1.0. So, do as it follows.

wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.0f.tar.gz tar xzvf openssl-1.1.0f.tar.gz cd openssl-1.1.0f ./config -Wl,--enable-new-dtags,-rpath,'$(LIBRPATH)' make sudo make install  openssl version -a 

It is done. It is as simple as that. Good luck with it.
