@Sudhanshu_Dasgupta good of you to raise this question. Will you copy and paste your terminal output here?

Be sure to install openssl (brew install openssl depending upon your OS type).

I have openssl installed but I am still facing the same problem. Any fixes?

This helped me fix OpenSSL issues in Ubuntu22.04

rvm pkg install openssl
rvm reinstall ruby-2.7.5 --with-openssl-dir=$rvm_path/usr

For those running into openssl issues when installing Ruby 3.2.2, here’s what worked for me:

rvm install 3.2.2 --enable-shared --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1
