# Install Latest Stable Nginx on Ubuntu

## Install

If you install `nginx` on Ubuntu 18.04, the default version is 1.14.0. If you want to install the latest stable version, use the command below:

```bash
$ su
$ add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable
$ apt update
$ apt install nginx
# check the version again
$ nginx -v
nginx version: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)
```

During the install, it will ask if you want to overwrite your current `nginx.conf` file, select Y or N based on your use case.
