Nginx is a popular open-source web server that can be used to host websites, serve as a reverse proxy, or even as a load balancer. In this article, we will show you how to install Nginx on a Linux machine using either apt or yum package managers. Here are the steps:
For apt-based distributions (e.g. Debian, Ubuntu):
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nginx
For yum-based distributions (e.g. CentOS, Fedora):

sudo yum install nginx
After the installation is complete, you can start Nginx using the following command:
