Step 1. Install Nginx. Below in the example, at first we are updating the local package index so that we can access to the most recent package listings. Afterwards, we are installing Nginx and any required dependencies on the server.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install nginx

Step 2. Adjust the Firewall. Allow the traffic on port 80 using Nginx HTTP. Depending on your requirements, you can also open port 443 specifying Nginx HTTPS instead (TLS/SSL encrypted traffic).

$sudo ufw allow 'NginxHTTPNginx HTTP'

Step 3. Check your Web Serverstatus of Nginx.

$ systemctl status nginx

Step 4. Create and customize 'server blocks'per-site "server blocks". On this step we need to create the spellcheck configuration file in the /etc/nginx/sites-available/ directory which will be later link to the sites-enabled directory.

$ sudo cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/
$ sudo cp default spellcheck
$ sudo nano spellcheck

Step 5. Create symlink for the 'spellcheck' configuration file. Now we are linking the spellcheck configuration file from /etc/nginx/sites-available/ directory with /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/.

$ ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/spellcheck /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/spellcheck

Step 6. Restart Nginx. To apply changes it is recommended to restart Nginx.

$ sudo systemctl restart nginx
