Official Debian/Ubuntu packages

The available NGINX Ubuntu release support is listed at this distribution page. For a mapping of Ubuntu versions to release names, please visit the Official Ubuntu Releases page.

Append the appropriate stanza to /etc/apt/sources.list. If there is concern about persistence of repository additions (i.e. DigitalOcean Droplets), the appropriate stanza may instead be added to a different list file under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, such as /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx.list.

## Replace $release with your corresponding Ubuntu release.
deb https://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ $release nginx
deb-src https://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ $release nginx

e.g. Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa):

deb https://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ focal nginx
deb-src https://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ focal nginx

To install the packages, execute in your shell:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx

If a W: GPG error: https://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu focal InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY $key is encountered during the NGINX repository update, execute the following:

## Replace $key with the corresponding $key from your GPG error.
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys $key
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx

You have now nginx installed on your server but not ready to serve web pages. you have to start the nginx. You can do this by using this command:

sudo systemctl start nginx

Ubuntu 22.04

Install the prerequisites:

sudo apt install curl gnupg2 ca-certificates lsb-release ubuntu-keyring

Import an official nginx signing key so apt could verify the packages authenticity. Fetch the key:

curl https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key | gpg --dearmor \
    | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null

Verify that the downloaded file contains the proper key:

gpg --dry-run --quiet --no-keyring --import --import-options import-show /usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg

The output should contain the full fingerprint 573BFD6B3D8FBC641079A6ABABF5BD827BD9BF62 as follows:

pub   rsa2048 2011-08-19 [SC] [expires: 2024-06-14]
      573BFD6B3D8FBC641079A6ABABF5BD827BD9BF62
uid                      nginx signing key <signing-key@nginx.com>

If the fingerprint is different, remove the file.

To set up the apt repository for stable nginx packages, run the following command:

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg] \
http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu `lsb_release -cs` nginx" \
    | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx.list

If you would like to use mainline nginx packages, run the following command instead:

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg] \
http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/ubuntu `lsb_release -cs` nginx" \
    | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx.list

Set up repository pinning to prefer our packages over distribution-provided ones:

echo -e "Package: *\nPin: origin nginx.org\nPin: release o=nginx\nPin-Priority: 900\n" \
    | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/99nginx

To install nginx, run the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx
