If you're using OpenVPN 2.3.x, you may need to download easy-rsa separately from the [https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa easy-rsa project page]. An easy-rsa package is also available for Debian and Ubuntu in the [wiki:OpenvpnSoftwareRepos OpenVPN software repos].

    154154If you are using Linux, BSD, or a unix-like OS, open a shell and cd to the easy-rsa subdirectory. If you installed OpenVPN from an RPM or DEB file provided by your distribution, the easy-rsa directory can usually be found in '''/usr/share/doc/packages/openvpn''' or '''/usr/share/doc/openvpn''' (it's best to copy this directory to another location such as '''/etc/openvpn''', before any edits, so that future OpenVPN package upgrades won't overwrite your modifications).
