This guide walks you through installing the most recent Nginx Mainline build on Rocky Linux 8 and 9, so you can take advantage of TLS‑v1.3 support and HTTP/2 improvements that older EPEL packages miss. It begins by removing any pre‑existing nginx or httpd binaries, then adds the official Nginx repository, enables the powertools stream on EL8, installs the package, verifies the mainline version with `nginx -v`, and finally starts and tests the service with a quick browser check or an OpenSSL command. Before you dive in, make sure you have sudo access, a clean Rocky installation, and that services like Apache are stopped to avoid port conflicts; also keep an eye on SELinux logs if network errors pop up. Once everything is working, your server will run the latest Nginx release with all its performance tweaks and modern security features.
