The advantage of using apt to install is that it is convenient to upgrade in a unified way, and there is no need to manually install it separately. By default, nginx already supports apt-get installation, but the installed package is an older 10.x version. We can use the latest stable version of nginx by adding the nginx deb installation source, and keep the latest unfinalized version of nginx through the update and upgrade commands in real time.
add apt-key
sudo apt-key add nginx_signing.keySince the latest stable version of nginx needs to be downloaded from the deb source officially designated by nginx, a trusted public key (PGP) needs to be added first. You can copy and save the following public key as a file named nginx_signing.key (you can also download it from the official website ):

-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----Then execute the following command:
sudo apt-key add nginx_signing.keySet apt's deb source
First of all, you need to clarify the current ubuntu version. When installing nginx, different ubuntu versions correspond to different nginx installation packages. The comparison is as follows:
| Version | installation package alias | Applicable platform |
| 14.04 | trusty | x86_64, i386, aarch64/arm64 |
| 16.04 | great | x86_64, i386, ppc64el, aarch64/arm64 |
| 17.10 | artful | x86_64, i386 |
Open apt's installation source configuration file - /etc/apt/sources.list. Add at the end of the file:
- deb http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ code nginx
- deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ code nginx
Note that the code marked in red needs to be replaced with the corresponding alias according to the above table according to the version number of Ubuntu.
After setting, use the checklog command to see that it has now switched to the latest stable version. (no log output, only a version number)
install nginx
Finally update the list of installation sources and then install nginx.
apt-get update
apt-get install nginxInstall the latest released version
In addition to the stable version, you can also install the latest release version (Mainline) through apt. Just modify the path of the installation source - modify the deb source in /etc/apt/sources.list to:
- deb http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/ubuntu/ code nginx
- deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/ubuntu/ code nginx
For more installation methods, see the official website
