install openssl package

Hi,

I wanted to use install the plotly package in RStudio and had some issues installing the openssl package on my Laptop using Ubuntu 16.04. On my Mac at work, everything worked fine.

install.packages("plotly")
Installing package into ‘/home/johannes/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.3’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
also installing the dependencies ‘curl’, ‘openssl’, ‘httr’

Do you have an idea how to solve this?
