You are a web developer, you need to test the website of a client on your localhost before pushing it on the production server, that website requires to use the https, also, https is not working on your localhost, then you are searching for a solution for resolving this issue. Today, I show you the steps to install the SSL Certificate and use https on your localhost.

Let's use https on your localhost with Apache2 Ubuntu server, you need to complete steps by step:

Step 1: Creating your certificate signing request (CSR) with OpenSSL
- cat /etc/*release, I have Ubuntu 16.04 on my localhost.
- apache2 -v, I installed apache 2.4.18 on my localhost

- Run the following command lines:
1. Enable the ssl module on Apache2: a2enmod ssl
2. Restart the Apache2: service apache2 restart
3. Create the folder named ssl for saving the pravite key file and certificate signing request file: mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl

Enter the following information:
Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]: US
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]: New York
Locality Name (eg, city) []: New York City
Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]: Your Company
