Official Red Hat/CentOS packages

To add nginx yum repository, create a file named /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo and paste one of the configurations below:

CentOS:

[nginx]
name=nginx repo
baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/centos/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

RHEL:

[nginx]
name=nginx repo
baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/rhel/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

Due to differences between how CentOS, RHEL, and Scientific Linux populate the $releasever variable, it is necessary to manually replace $releasever with either "5" (for 5.x) or "6" (for 6.x), depending upon your OS version.

Official Debian/Ubuntu packages

Append the appropriate stanza to /etc/apt/sources.list. The Pgp page explains the signing of the nginx.org released packaging.

Ubuntu 10.04:

deb http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ lucid nginx
deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ lucid nginx

Debian 6:

deb http://nginx.org/packages/debian/ squeeze nginx
deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/debian/ squeeze nginx

Ubuntu PPA

This PPA is maintained by volunteers and is not distributed by nginx.org. It has some additional compiled-in modules and may be more fitting for your environment.

You can get the latest stable version of Nginx from the Nginx PPA on Launchpad: You will need to have root privileges to perform the following commands.

For Ubuntu 10.04 and newer:

sudo -s
nginx=stable # use nginx=development for latest development version
add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/$nginx
apt-get update 
apt-get install nginx

If you get an error about add-apt-repository not existing, you will want to install python-software-properties. For other Debian/Ubuntu based distributions, you can try the lucid variant of the PPA which is the most likely to work on older package sets.

sudo -s
nginx=stable # use nginx=development for latest development version
echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nginx/$nginx/ubuntu lucid main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx-$nginx-lucid.list
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys C300EE8C
apt-get update 
apt-get install nginx

Official Win32 Binaries

As of 0.8.50, Nginx is now available as an official Windows binary.

The Windows version is provided as a binary-only due to the current build process (which currently uses some Wine tools). When the build process has been cleaned up, source will be made available. Igor does not want to support build issues with the current system.

Installation:

cd c:\
unzip nginx-1.2.3.zip
ren nginx-1.2.3 nginx
cd nginx
start nginx

Control:

nginx -s [ stop | quit | reopen | reload ]

For problems look in c:\nginx\logs\error.log or in EventLog.

In addition, Kevin Worthington maintains earlier Windows builds of the development branch.

Building Nginx From Source

After extracting the source, run these commands from a terminal:

./configure
make
sudo make install

By default, Nginx will be installed in /usr/local/nginx. You may change this and other options with the compile-time options.

You might also want to peruse the catalog of third-party modules, since these must be built at compile-time.

Command：nginx –h  help

安装nginx之前需要zlib和pcre先用rpm查看是否安装。

备注centos系统下：

yum search 软件名

yum install 软件名

rpm –q 软件名
