title: Installation of Nginx in Ubuntu
---
## Installation of Nginx in Ubuntu
## Introduction
Step 1: Update Apt-Get
- Nginx is a web server which can also be used as a reverse proxy, load balancer and HTTP cache.
- It is one of the most popular web servers in use and is responsible for hosting some of the largest and highest-traffic sites on the internet.
- It is proven to be lighter on resources than httpd/Apache.
- Nginx is free and open-source software, first released in 2004.
As always, we update and upgrade our package manager.
## Installation of Nginx on Ubuntu
`apt-get update && apt-get upgrade`
Update the local package index and install Nginx from default repositories:
Step 2: Install Nginx
```sh
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install nginx
$ sudo systemctl status nginx # will check if the server is running as the installation should have started it already
```
One simple command to install Nginx is all that is needed:
## Installation of Nginx on CentOS 7
`apt-get -y install nginx`
Add Nginx repository and install:
```sh
$ sudo yum install epel-release
$ sudo yum install nginx
$ sudo systemctl start nginx # will start the server
```
