Looks like it needs the openssl source available in order to compile. Supposing your on linux (based on the first block, with sudo/apt, I'm guessing you're on a Debian based distro), you could possibly fix it using sudo apt install openssl-dev.

Otherwise, check the package's docs to see what requirements it has.

Solved it. It was in the docs as you said. Had to do this first:

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
