Compiling ``cryptography`` on macOS produces a ``fatal error: 'openssl/aes.h' file not found`` error
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing ``cryptography`` produces a ``fatal error: 'openssl/opensslv.h' file not found`` error
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This happens because macOS 10.11 no longer includes a copy of OpenSSL.
``cryptography`` now provides wheels which include a statically linked copy of
OpenSSL. You're seeing this error because your copy of pip is too old to find
our wheel files. Upgrade your copy of pip with ``pip install -U pip`` and then
try install ``cryptography`` again.
``cryptography`` provides wheels which include a statically linked copy of

old to find our wheel files. Upgrade your ``pip`` with ``pip install -U pip``
and then try to install ``cryptography`` again.
If you are using PyPy, we do not currently ship ``cryptography`` wheels for
PyPy. You will need to install your own copy of OpenSSL -- we recommend using
Homebrew.
Users on PyPy, unusual CPU architectures, or distributions of Linux using
``musl`` (like Alpine) will need to compile ``cryptography`` themselves. Please
view our :doc:`/installation` documentation.
``cryptography`` raised an ``InternalError`` and I'm not sure what to do?
