Ran into issue with openssl during install and resolved

[ketzah]

When running step 3 on recommended compile and install method on Raspberry Pi 4

I was getting strange errors, and the build failed due to openssl.

I tried updating and even manually compiling openssl 1.0.1 and didn't work.

What did work is:
sudo apt-get install pkg-config libssl-dev

then after running
cargo install --path .
it completed as expected without errors

Hi there!

This is, unfortunately, a well known issue with Raspberry Pi. Please take a look at this cross-compiling guide:

Btw, it's always good to enforce: latency is crucial for getting good results, I'd recommend you rent a server in Tokyo or something.
