Yes, your system does not have a compatible version of openssl installed.

Try installing openssl1.0

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/openssl1.0

I actually have version 1.0.2 on the system.
Installing package libssl1.0-dev fixed the problem on Debian.

I think you should point it out somewhere, so more users won't have the same problems.

I should stop bundling Qt. That's what I should do.

That is on the TODO list...

How do I just manually give it the json file it wants?
