=Nginx on OpenSolaris=

Just like almost any other Unix or Unix-like system, on OpenSolaris and its derivatives, you can install Nginx from either a repository or source.

==Install from a repository==

In addition to whatever your OpenSolaris distribution may include, you can also install from other repositories.

=== Nginx from OpenSolaris webstack repository ===

(Note that the version in the OpenSolaris webstack repository may be older than you wish to install. Be sure to [http://pkg.opensolaris.org/webstack/en/search.shtml?token=nginx&action=Search check the available version before installing].

Install Nginx from OpenSolaris webstack repository:
<pre>
jacek@okno1:~$ pfexec pkg set-authority -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/webstack webstack
jacek@okno1:~$ pfexec pkg refresh
jacek@okno1:~$ pfexec pkg install nginx

</pre>
Edit configuration file (for testing I changed default port from 80 to 2080 because Apache was using port 80):
<pre>
jacek@okno1:~$ pfexec vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
</pre>
Install and enable service:
<pre>
jacek@okno1:~$ pfexec svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/network/http-nginx.xml
jacek@okno1:~$ pfexec svcadm enable nginx
jacek@okno1:~$ svcs|grep nginx
online 17:50:13 svc:/network/http:nginx
jacek@okno1:~$
</pre>

==Install from source==

If you prefer to install from source, as many Nginx users do, just follow the [[Installing_on_Solaris]] instructions.
