Errors installing MongoDB on MacOS High Sierra - Missing Library

I have installed Homebrew and i am trying to install MongoDB. I run MongoDB but i get the following error:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/mongod Reason: image not found Abort trap: 6

I have run brew update/upgrade and after looking through Google it seems it could be an issue with openssl.

Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks!

So, i can't find a away forward with this but theres a handful of options available if anyone is stuck. I could download Mongo and keep it somewhere on my machine, just like in the tutorials. I could use Mongos own cloud hosted MongoDB. I could also grab a Mongo Vagrant box or similar...there are plenty of options out there. At the moment, i've decided to go with the Mongo Cloud.
