First installed openssl and recompiled

cd /usr/local/src
wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.2-latest.tar.gz # getting the openssl package
tar -zxf openssl-1.0.2-latest.tar.gz

# compiled and installed it. 
cd openssl-1.0.2a
 ./config
make
make test
make install

# moved old openssl and created openssl with symbolic link
mv /usr/bin/openssl /root/
ln -s /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl /usr/bin/openssl
