set OPENSSL_DIR=C:\OpenSSL-Win64
```

Note that this OpenSSL distribution does not ship with any root certificates.
So to make requests to servers on the internet, you have to install them
manually. Download the [cacert.pem file from here], copy it somewhere safe
(`C:\OpenSSL-Win64\certs` is a good place) and point the `SSL_CERT_FILE`
environment variable there:

```
set SSL_CERT_FILE=C:\OpenSSL-Win64\certs\cacert.pem
```
