After trying multiple times unable to figure out a way to install Plone

What did you try? What happened? There are many ways to install Plone and many ways it can go wrong, so no one will be able to help you unless you provide more information.

this error throws every time

Well, the error message is more or less self-explaining. You do not have the related SSL dev package installed like openssl-dev or libressl-dev...

and what about libss? I have zero idea on that

sudo apt-get install openssl

will this command work..
but it isn't openssl-dev

The Ubuntu packages usually come in 2 variants:

  1. a base package providing elementary functionality
  2. an extension package necessary when the functionality needs
    integration into a component requiring compilation. This variant
    it called a "dev" package because it is required for the development
    of other components and is recognizable by the -dev suffix in the package
    name.

Thus, you need sudo apt-get install openssl-dev.

Maybe Ubuntu has changed the naming conventions recently
-- or your apt configuration is strange.

I checked with aptitude show openssl:
this package only contains the SSL binaries.
You need the development package of the SSL library, i.e. libssl-dev.
Thus, try sudo apt install libssl-dev.

There is documentation for that (--> docs.plone.org).
