Perform the Nginx installation tutorial on CentOS 7

1. Installation preparation

First of all, since some modules of nginx depend on some lib libraries, these lib libraries must be installed before installing nginx. These dependent libraries mainly include g++, gcc, openssl-devel, pcre-devel and zlib-devel

yum install gcc-c++ 
yum install pcre pcre-devel 
yum install zlib zlib-devel 
yum install openssl openssl--devel

2. Install Nginx

Before installation, it is best to check whether nginx has been installed

find -name nginx

If the system already has nginx installed, uninstall it first

yum remove nginx

First go to the /usr/local directory

cd /usr/local

Download the latest version of nginx from the official website

wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.9.6.tar.gz

tar -zxvf nginx-1.9.6.tar.gz
cd nginx-1.9.6

To install, use the --prefix parameter to specify the directory for the nginx installation,make, make install installation

./configure $ The default installation is /usr/local/nginx  
make 
make install

If there are no errors reported, it is best to look at the nginx installation directory once it is completed

whereis nginx

Once installed, you can start or stop it by entering the post-installation directory (/usr/local/nginx)
