In this tutorial, we will walk you through step by step on how to install Nginx on Clear Linux Latest. Nginx is a powerful open-source web server and reverse proxy that can be used for serving static or dynamic content.
Before proceeding with the installation of Nginx on Clear Linux Latest, ensure that you have the following prerequisites in place:
As always, the first step when installing any package is to ensure that your system is up to date. You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo swupd update
This command will update the system with the latest package version.
Clear Linux Latest uses swupd as its package manager. To install Nginx, run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add nginx
This command will download and install the Nginx web server on the Clear Linux Latest instance.
After the installation is complete, start the Nginx service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start nginx
This command will start the Nginx service. You can verify whether Nginx is running by running the following command:
sudo systemctl status nginx
If Nginx is running, the output should indicate that the service is active and running:
● nginx.service - nginx service
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since ....., 2s ago
Docs: man:nginx(8)
Process: ....... ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/nginx -t -q -g daemon on; master_process on; (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Main PID: .... (nginx)
Tasks: 2 (limit: 15650)
Memory: 2.3M
CGroup: /system.slice/nginx.service
├─.... nginx: master process /usr/sbin/nginx -g daemon on; master_process on;
└─.... nginx: worker process
By default, the Nginx service is not set to start automatically on system boot. To enable the service, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable nginx
This command will ensure that the Nginx service starts automatically every time the system starts up.
To verify that Nginx is running, open your web browser and type in your server's IP address. You should see the Nginx welcome page (It will say "Welcome to nginx!" in English).
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Nginx on Clear Linux Latest.
In this tutorial, we walked you through the steps required to install Nginx on Clear Linux Latest. After following these steps, you will have successfully installed the web server, started it, enabled it, and tested it.
