  Could not find directory of OpenSSL installation, and this `-sys` crate cannot
  proceed without this knowledge. If OpenSSL is installed and this crate had
  trouble finding it,  you can set the `OPENSSL_DIR` environment variable for the
  compilation process.

  Make sure you also have the development packages of openssl installed.
  For example, `libssl-dev` on Ubuntu or `openssl-devel` on Fedora.

  If you're in a situation where you think the directory *should* be found
  automatically, please open a bug at https://github.com/sfackler/rust-openssl
  and include information about your system as well as this message.

I believe this is fixed by our switch to rustls which is not released yet. For now, you could install with cargo install --git (see https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-install.html) or build yourself from the master branch :)

A new release is planned before the end of the year.
