Help getting a lynx that will open https

[Ryan Houck]

Hi, my name is Ryan. I heard about ftp based browsers in one of my classes
and wanted to try it out. Lynx was recommended and I found one that was
already set up. The problem was it would not open any https sites. I have
no experience programming and all the instructions loose me. Is there any
pre-packaged version you know of?

Thanks
Ryan

Hey Ryan,
I just tried to open an http site with lynx ( https://duckduckgo.com/ ),
it worked. My version:
