Think for your answer. My debian is wheezy,it is true that easy-rsa is under the path /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/.
To get a proper response to questions like these you really need to specify what Debian version you are running. For the purpose of this answer I’m going to assuming that you are running Debian Wheezy, which is the current Stable version.
Debian Wheezy comes with OpenVPN 2.2, where easy-rsa is distributed together with main OpenVPN program. On your Debian system you ought to find easy-rsa under the path /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/.
As of OpenVPN 2.3 easy-rsa is treated as its own program, which is why Ubuntu 14.04 has it as a separate package.
Bonus answer: In case you want OpenVPN 2.3 for your Debian Wheezy you can get it from Debian Backports. One good reason to prefer OpenVPN 2.3 is that it comes with much better IPv6 support.
Here is my installation process. The web material is : https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-openvpn-server-on-ubuntu-14-04
gunzip -c /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/sample-config-files/server.conf.gz > /etc/openvpn/server.conf nano /etc/openvpn/server.conf #the same as web material echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward nano /etc/sysctl.conf #the same as web material apt-get install ufw ufw allow ssh ufw allow 1194/udp nano /etc/default/ufw #the same as web material nano /etc/ufw/before.rules #the same as web material ufw enable cp -r /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/ /etc/openvpn mkdir /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys nano /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/vars
