Community Resources

These resources are not provided or supported by NGINX, Inc.
Many community guides describe how to install NGINX Open Source from repositories maintained by operating system vendors or other third parties. We always recommend using the official sources or prebuilt packages from the mainline repo at nginx.org, or the NGINX Plus repo to ensure you get the most recent, fully tested software.
