You wouldn't call the file directly, you'd need to include/require it in a script. I made a quick Gist as an example

On a side note, from your error message, it looks like you are running PHP 5.5, and this class requires PHP 7 and above. PHP 7.4 is currently the lowest version still supported.

After that, you might reinstall OpenSSL while you're at it, just in case. Updating your PHP version might handle it, but that would be the next step if not.

Just on a side note, you really should change CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER to true.
Instead insert a comment about if you need it you can disable it. But all certificates that Amazon AWS uses can all be validated just fine. You should never use this functionality in a prod/live setup.

Its a huge security issue as you have no idea where/if anywhere along the path of communication someone transparently do a man in the middle attack. Or even if you just simply get "TLS inspected" by some hardware within your organization etc. Even with corporate TLS inspections there are proper ways to allow that like importing the firewall CA cert into your store.
