Nginx is a popular web server that is known for its speed and performance. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing Nginx on macOS.
Before getting started, you will need:
Homebrew is a popular package manager for macOS. It will allow you to easily install Nginx.
You can install Homebrew by running the following command in your terminal:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
Once Homebrew is installed, you can use it to install Nginx by running the following command in your terminal:
brew install nginx
This will install Nginx and all of its dependencies.
After Nginx is installed, you will need to configure it to serve your website or application.
The main configuration file for Nginx is located at /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf. You can edit this file to add your server blocks and other configuration settings.
To start Nginx, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo nginx
You may need to enter your password to start Nginx.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Nginx on your macOS computer. You can now use Nginx to serve your website or application.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
