How to Install Nginx on MacOS Introduction. Nginx is a web server which can also be used as a HTTP cache, load balancer and reverse proxy.This was first created by Igor Sysoev and released in 2004 under the terms of BSD like license. In this tutorial, we will learn the steps involved in the installation of Nginx. I'm using nginx on OS X 10.8. Freshly installed nginx but can't find a way to restart nginx except kill nginxpid say kill 64116. Wondering if there are better ways to restart nginx.

To install the Nginx on Mac OS, Homebrew must be installed on the system. Homebrew is a package manager for Mac operating system that allows us to install various Unix applications easily. If you don't have Homebrew, use the following link to install: https://brew.sh/
