Installation problems for Rmysql / Ubuntu 18.04 package

Question

R version 3.6.3 (2020-02-29) Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) Running under: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS

When trying to install the Rmysql package using the instruction:

install.packages('RMySQL')

I get the following error information:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lssl
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
/usr/share/R/share/make/shlib.mk:6: recipe for target 'RMySQL.so' failed
make: *** [RMySQL.so] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘RMySQL’
* removing ‘/home/lepina/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6/RMySQL’
Warning in install.packages :
  installation of package ‘RMySQL’ had non-zero exit status

I request help, because I already uninstalled and installed R, I already downgraded the version from 4.0.0 to 3.6.3, but nothing solves.
