I've been following a tutorial to setup an OpenVPN server. However, it didn't work and I decided to remove OpenVPN and try again. I did it with

sudo apt-get purge openvpn

command and then

rm -rf /etc/openvpn/
rm -rf /usr/share/easy-rsa/
rm - rf /usr/share/doc/easy-rsa/
rm -rf /root/openvpn-ca/
rm -rf /root/openvpn-clients/
rm -rf /run/openvpn/

Now having run

 sudo apt-get install openvpn easy-rsa

 make-cadir ~/openvpn-ca

I get a note:

 cp: cannot stat '/usr/share/easy-rsa/vars': No such file or directory
 cp: cannot stat '/usr/share/easy-rsa/*.cnf': No such file or directory

When I then cd to ~/openvpn-ca and ls I don't get any files, while. according to tutorial, there should be file vars there.

What should I do now? I'd think the reinstallation would create all the files necessary, but it seems that vars file hasn't been.

Likely reinstallation will fix it - but that's not what you did

Having manually deleted files belonging to the easy-rsa package, the package manager has no idea they're gone. So when you did

sudo apt-get install openvpn easy-rsa

you likely got a message that easy-rsa is already the newest version and no files were actually restored: try

sudo apt-get install --reinstall easy-rsa

instead.
