OpenSSL issues with installation

[smoorsh]

Hello! I have been trying to install Tidyverse and have been running into issues with OpenSSL when installing. At first, I tried using the methods suggested in your README.md:

install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("tidyverse")

I was able to install pak, but when I tried to install Tidyverse I got the following OpenSSL error that caused the installation to fail:

✖ Failed to build openssl 2.3.3 (4s)                 
Error:                                               
! error in pak subprocess
Caused by error in `stop_task_build(state, worker)`:

Then, I tried this:

install.packages("tidyverse")

And I got the same error as above twice before getting this:

I tried downloading OpenSSL itself, but the version specified by the Tidyverse error message, 2.3.3, is not available for download. I have instead downloaded OpenSSL version 3.5.1, which might work but I am unsure how to make the Tidyverse installation use my downloaded version instead of the package it is trying to install. Is there something I am missing, or a way to bypass the version problem? Thank you in advance for your help!
