Installation instructions for RHEL 9.0+ / Oracle Linux 9.0+ / AlmaLinux 9.0+ / Rocky Linux 9.0+

• If you already have old NGINX packages in your system, back up your configs and logs:
• sudo cp -a /etc/nginx /etc/nginx-plus-backup
• sudo cp -a /var/log/nginx /var/log/nginx-plus-backup
• Create the /etc/ssl/nginx/ directory:
• sudo mkdir -p /etc/ssl/nginx
• Log in to MyF5, if you purchased subscription, or follow the link in the trial activation email, and download the following two files:
• nginx-repo.key
• nginx-repo.crt
• Copy the above two files to the RHEL/Oracle Linux/AlmaLinux/Rocky Linux server into /etc/ssl/nginx/ directory. Use your SCP client or other secure file transfer tools.
• Install prerequisite packages:
• sudo yum install ca-certificates
• Add NGINX Plus repository by downloading the file plus-9.repo to /etc/yum.repos.d:
• sudo wget -P /etc/yum.repos.d https://cs.nginx.com/static/files/plus-9.repo
• Install the NGINX Plus package
• sudo yum install nginx-plus
• Check the nginx binary version to ensure that you have NGINX Plus installed correctly:
• nginx -v

Upgrading to a specific release

In order to upgrade from the previous version of nginx-plus, run sudo yum upgrade nginx-plus

Default repository path is configured to point to the latest NGINX Plus release with an ability to downgrade to one of the previous releases issued within 2 years. If you want to stick to the particular release, you should modify the baseurl parameter in the plus-9.repo file in a following way:

• baseurl=https://pkgs.nginx.com/plus/Rxx/centos/9/$basearch/

where xx is a release number.
