How to solve the problem of No package nginx available when installing nginx in centos yum

Cause:

 

Nginx is located in the third-party yum source, not in the centos official yum source.

 

Solution:

 

Install epel (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux)

A. Go to epel website http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/epelto download

B. My system is centos5.7, cpu is x86_64, so I downloaded wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

For centos6, you should download the wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

C. Install epel

 

Rpm-ivh epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

If you execute yum install nginx again, the system prompts that the installation is successful.

Note:

 

Epel installation is related to centos system version and cpu hardware architecture,

View the system version (lsb-release-),

View cpu hardware architecture (arch)

 

Epel is a RHEL Ora software repository that provides high-quality software packages for RHEL and its derivative releases, such as CentOS and Scientific Linux. With EPEL installed, you can install the software through yum install package-name, just like on Fedora.
