      Suyog:- There are two scenario of installation 1) Just install openssl 2) Compile openssl with apache for mod_ssl.so module in apache.

      Note: All commands need to be executed inside openssl source

      shared: This parameter forces the creation of shared libraries along with the static libraries.
