I've tried to install a new version of OpenSSL via Homebrew but it doesn't work. My actual OpenSSL version is 0.9.8 and I don't know what to do.

When I type on MacOS 10.8.4 brew install openssl the system brings to me the following error:

Error: openssl-1.0.1e already installed

So when I type openssl version I see this:

OpenSSL 0.9.8x 10 May 2012

How can I turn the actual version to the new version installed via Homebrew? Any tips?

My guess is that OS X has an older version of openssl in /usr/bin, and Homebrew places it's version in /usr/local/bin

Try

/usr/local/bin/openssl version

Edit: Before you try the above command, run:

brew link --force openssl

  • I had to install Homebrew to test for my self. Try the command in my updated answer, that worked for me. – Stian Fauskanger Jul 04 '13 at 21:24

    And as pointed out in [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15185661/openssl-version-macosx-homebrew/17231736#17231736) answer, you could/should edit your $PATH variable so that /usr/local/bin comes before /usr/bin. – Stian Fauskanger Jul 04 '13 at 21:28
