Step-by-step tutorial of how to download and install Nginx on Windows, Linux and Mac OS.

Nginx is one of the most popular and fastest growing open source web servers in the world.

Compared to apache is more resource-friendly, it can be used as a web server, reverse proxy, load balancer, mail proxy and HTTP cache.

Nginx is distributed as a package for all supported platforms and architectures and must first be installed on your machine.

Check out the releases CHANGELOG for more information on the latest release and choose the version that is required for your Operating System and your project. If you just getting started with Nginx , I suggest you to get the latest stable release.
