OpenSSL

The Pixel Farm's applications rely on HTTPS to securely connect to The Pixel Farm's servers.

On Linux, this is implemented using the free OpenSSL library (version 1.0.2). Whilst OpenSSL is usually installed as part of the operating system, if a suitable OpenSSL library cannot be located on your machine, please follow the instructions below to ensure it is correctly installed and available to use by your applications.

Please note that OpenSSL 1.1 is not compatible with OpenSSL 1.0.2, and cannot be installed in its place.

Installing OpenSSL on Linux

The necessary OpenSSL 1.0.2 rpm package for Centos 7 can be downloaded from here.

As root, navigate to the directory where you have downloaded the the rpm (e.g. /root/Downloads/) in a Terminal window and install the package with

cd /root/Downloads/
rpm -ivh openssl-1.0.2k-19.el7.x86_64.rpm
