using the command openssl version -d is shows the default location of the configuration file I set the directories in OPENSSLDIR: "/usr/local/ssl"

I have noticed the file is saved in the working directory that terminal is open in.

UPDATE 11:00 30/05/2019

I have ran the command

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -days 3650

but it just prints the key inside the terminal window and doesn't output to a file.

I added -noout to the command but the file has saved it saved itself at ~privkey.pem and not in the direcory I set in the openssl.cnf file /home/will/demoCA.
