By default, homebrew gave me OpenSSL version 1.1 and I was looking for version 1.0 instead. This worked for me.

To install version 1.0:

brew install https://github.com/tebelorg/Tump/releases/download/v1.0.0/openssl.rb

Then I tried to symlink my way through it but it gave me the following error:

ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2t/include/openssl /usr/bin/openssl
ln: /usr/bin/openssl: Operation not permitted

Finally linked openssl to point to 1.0 version using brew switch command:

brew switch openssl 1.0.2t
Cleaning /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2t
Opt link created for /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2t
