Nginx Installation on Linux Systems

Nginx is a popular open-source web server known for its high performance and excellent scalability.

To begin the installation, first update your system with the command
sudo apt-get update

Next, install Nginx with the command
sudo apt-get install nginx

Once the installation is complete, start the Nginx service with the command
sudo systemctl start nginx

You can verify that the service is running correctly by executing
sudo systemctl status nginx

By default, Nginx should start automatically at system boot. You can check this with the command
sudo systemctl is-enabled nginx

If you are using a firewall, allow incoming HTTP and HTTPS traffic by running
sudo ufw allow 'Nginx Full'

After completing these steps, open your web browser and enter your server’s IP address in the address bar. If everything was successful, you will see Nginx’s default welcome page.
