I followed all the steps from [https://www.aerospike.com/docs/operations/install/linux/other](https://www.aerospike.com/docs/operations/install/linux/other) for installing Aerospike CE 5.0.0.7 on Amazon Linux 2 EC2 instance. However I am seeing below error while installing: ``` $ sudo ./bin/aerospike start error: start failed due to an error. /aerospike-server/bin/asd: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ``` Here is other useful information: ``` $ openssl version OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips 26 Jan 2017 $ ls -ls /usr/lib64/libcrypto* 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jul 11 02:04 /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so -> libcrypto.so.1.0.2k 2408 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2462992 Mar 19 20:03 /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.0.2k 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 May 27 00:46 /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.10 -> libcrypto.so.1.0.2k ``` What am I missing? Thanks! ---

For Amazon Linux 2, we usually recommend installing an EL7 , Redhat 7 package. Please see: > **[Aerospike Downloads](https://aerospike.com/download/#servers)** > > Get the latest, all supported, and archived Aerospike software downloads here. and [https://www.aerospike.com/docs/operations/install/linux/el6/index.html](https://www.aerospike.com/docs/operations/install/linux/el6/index.html) I don’t belive the linux other package (debian base) with a different libcrypto requirement will work on AMZN2 linux. Please try the EL7 rpm.
