Learn how to install Nginx on various operating systems and perform initial configuration steps.

Get Ready to Install Nginx

Welcome! In this lesson, we'll get Nginx up and running on your system. Nginx (pronounced "engine-x") is a powerful web server and reverse proxy that's widely used for high-performance applications.

We'll cover installation on common operating systems and explore its initial setup.

Installing on Linux (APT)

For Debian or Ubuntu Linux, Nginx is readily available through the APT package manager. These commands will update your package list and install Nginx:

  • sudo apt update

The sudo command grants administrative privileges, necessary for system-wide changes.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx
