Procedure
Install NGINX Open Source
Install NGINX via Homebrew, distro/official packages, or winget, then verify with nginx -v.
Step 1
Install NGINX Open Source per https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/installing-nginx/installing-nginx-open-source/ and https://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html . macOS: brew update && brew install nginx. Linux: distro package (apt/dnf/pacman install nginx) or configure the official nginx.org repo for stable/mainline then install nginx (elevated as needed). Windows: winget install --id freenginx.nginx -e (or Chocolatey/Scoop community packages).
Step 2
Optional alternate reverse proxy: install Caddy instead from https://caddyserver.com/docs/install (brew install caddy, official apt/dnf packages, or static binary) — pick NGINX or Caddy, not both, for this setup.
Step 3
nginx -v
