If 'openssl: command not found' is the error, then it's not finding
the openssl binary.  Make sure it's in your $PATH.  (Fixing this will
make CA.sh -newca work properly, which will make the rest of the steps
work properly.)

For a user-specific installation of OpenSSL, I usually put the binary
in ~/bin and the share library in ~/lib, and in my .profile add the
lines

# add personal search directories here
PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
# and just in case they're not properly exported...
export PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
