# 🔖 Variant II: AppStream Module Install
This method is not available on AlmaLinux 9.1 (Lime Lynx) -- there is no AppStream module version of Nginx in RHEL repos.
# 🔖 Variant III: Main-line Repository Install
# Example
# ➡️ Import the Nginx signing key
sudo rpm --import https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key
# ➡️ Create a repo definition file for Nginx
sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo
# ➡️ Populate the new repo file with below text (copy-paste & Ctrl+D)
[nginx-mainline]
name=nginx mainline repo
baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/centos/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=0
gpgkey=https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key
module_hotfixes=true
# ➡️ Install dnf-uils
WARNING
ℹ️ dnf-utils are repo managment tools (classic YUM utilities implemented as CLI shims on top of DNF)
sudo dnf install dnf-utils
# ➡️ Enable the repository
dnf config-manager --enable nginx-mainline
# ➡️ Enable/install the module
sudo dnf install nginx
➡️ Example output (install)
