notes/nginx/Build nginx from source.md

PreRequisites

You need to install the OpenSSL development libraries as well. Here's how to fix both issues: Install Required Dependencies For Debian/Ubuntu systems (which you appear to be using based on the ⁠apt-get command):


sh 
sudo apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev libssl-dev 
 
 
This command will install: • ⁠libpcre3 and ⁠libpcre3-dev - For the PCRE library (needed for the HTTP rewrite module)
 • ⁠libssl-dev - For the OpenSSL development files (needed for SSL modules)

Download

1. Download latest nginx source code from Nginx today nginx-1.25.3
2. Download RTMP Module from github

Extract

1. Extract downloaded nginx

tar zxvf nginx-1.25.3.tar.gz

2. change directories to extracted nginx directory
3. configure build

./configure \
	--prefix=/usr/local/nginx \
	--sbin-path=/usr/local/sbin/nginx \
	--add-module=../nginx-rtmp-module
	

4. make
5. make install
