Installed easy-rsa package, but I cannot find the directory

I'm trying to set up OpenVPN, but I cannot generate certs due to not finding the easy-rsa directory.

The directory should be located here:

/usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/

However, when I list the directories from .../openvpn/examples, I get this:

I can't proceed without this directory. Please help.

You should install OpenVPN along with easy-rsa

sudo apt-get install openvpn easy-rsa

and copy over the Easy-RSA generation scripts

sudo cp -r /usr/share/easy-rsa /etc/openvpn

After sudo apt install openvpn easy-rsa, do make-cadir /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/.

This will create the directory /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/.
