Steps to install Nginix on a VPS

Update the package index and install Nginx by running the following command:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx

After the installation is complete, start the Nginx service with the following command:

sudo systemctl start nginx

Check the status of the Nginx service to make sure it is running by using the following command:

sudo systemctl status nginx

If the status shows that Nginx is active and running, you can open a web browser and enter the IP address of your VPS in the address bar. You should see the default Nginx web page, indicating that Nginx is running correctly.

If you want Nginx to start automatically at boot time, you can enable the Nginx service with the following command:

sudo systemctl enable nginx

That's it! You have now installed and configured Nginx on your Ubuntu VPS. You can now use Nginx as a web server or a reverse proxy for your applications. If you want to configure Nginx for a specific application or use case, you will need to modify the Nginx configuration file (/etc/nginx/nginx.conf) accordingly.
