NodeJS NPM OpenSSL error

[samy.janson]

I accidentally deleted /opt/alt/alt-nodejs12 folder and reinstalled it. But after reinstalling, when I run nodejs12 commands (e.g.: /opt/alt/alt-nodejs12/root/usr/bin/npm --version) it returns error:

/opt/alt/alt-nodejs12/root/usr/bin/node: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I copied the libcrypto.so.1.1 and libssl.so.1.1 with their symlinks from /opt/alt/alt-nodejs11/root/usr/lib64 folder to nodejs12 corresponding directory, but after that it returns another error:

/opt/alt/alt-nodejs12/root/usr/bin/node: /opt/alt/alt-nodejs12/root/usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.1: version `OPENSSL_1_1_1 not found (required by /opt/alt/alt-nodejs12/root/usr/bin/node)

/opt/alt/alt-nodejs12/root/usr/bin/node: /opt/alt/alt-nodejs12/root/usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.1: version `OPENSSL_1_1_1 not found (required by /opt/alt/alt-nodejs12/root/usr/bin/node)

What command should I run to install OpenSSL requirements on this version of NodeJS ?

Hello Siman,

you can (1) check the package that he has to reinstall:
# yum whatprovides /opt/alt/alt-nodejs12/root/usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.1
or
# rpm -qf /opt/alt/alt-nodejs12/root/usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.1.1b
for example:
# rpm -qf /opt/alt/alt-nodejs12/root/usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.1.1b
alt-nodejs12-openssl-libs-1.1.1b-1.el7.x86_64

(2) reinstall the package from the output via
# yum reinstall alt-nodejs12-openssl-libs

just in case, heres how the folder looks on a test server:
# ll /opt/alt/alt-nodejs12/root/usr/lib64
