RHEL / Centos 6 – Install Nginx Using Yum Command

by

To install Nginx on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 or CentOS 6 using the yum command, you need to add the Nginx repository to your system. Here are the steps:

  1. Download and install the Nginx repository configuration:
sudo rpm -Uvh http://nginx.org/packages/centos/6/noarch/RPMS/nginx-release-centos-6-0.el6.ngx.noarch.rpm
  1. Update the package lists:
sudo yum update
  1. Install Nginx:
sudo yum install nginx
  1. Start the Nginx service:
sudo service nginx start

This will install Nginx on your system and start the Nginx service. You can then access Nginx by visiting http://localhost in your web browser.

Note: The above steps assume that you have a working internet connection and that you have administrative privileges on your system. If you run into any issues, make sure to consult the Nginx documentation for further guidance.
