How to install nginx on linux server

Step 1: Install PCRE pcre-devel and Zlib

PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) is a Perl library, including perl Compatible regular expression library. The http module of nginx uses pcre to parse regular expressions, so the pcre library needs to be installed on Linux. pcre-devel is a secondary development library developed using pcre. nginx also requires this library. Command:

yum install -y pcre pcre-devel

The zlib library provides many compression and decompression methods. nginx uses zlib to gzip the contents of the http package, so the zlib library needs to be installed on Centos.

yum install -y zlib zlib-devel

After installing these two, you can install nginx, but if there are problems during installation, you may need to install GCC and OpenSSL. The following commands are provided:

yum install gcc-c++
yum install -y openssl openssl-devel
