I downloaded the tarball (1.1.1n) as explained into the /tmp/ directory and ran the ./configure, make, make test and make install commands.

Under /usr/local/ssl I find the below directory but no bin. 

total 32
drwxr-xr-x.  5 root root   140 Jun 30 10:32 .
drwxr-xr-x. 15 root root   168 Jun 30 10:32 ..
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root     6 Jun 30 10:32 certs

and the system still shows the old version while running openssl version.

openssl: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

To fix this error, one has to run the following commands:

$ sudo bash -c "echo '/usr/local/lib64' >> /etc/ld.so.conf"
$ sudo ldconfig
