First of all you would need to "ssh" to you're server:

    ssh user@127.0.0.1

After successfully loged in on you're server:

    sudo apt install nginx

Start Nginx:

    sudo systemctl start nginx

Enable to start at reboot:

    sudo systemctl enable nginx

Check Nginx status:

    systemctl status nginx

You're default web root path is:

    cd /var/www/html/

 `ls`

Output:

    init@init /var/www/html % ls
    index.nginx-debian.html
    init@init /var/www/html %

Curl you're server IP address should give you the output of "Welcome to nginx."

    curl 127.0.0.1

Output >

    init@init /var/www/html % curl 127.0.0.1

Edit or setup specific domain names on Nginx:

    cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Copy the default

    cp default example.domain

You will find there a helpful documentacion how to do that as example:

vim example.domain

    server {
           listen 80;
           listen [::]:80;

           server_name example.domain;

           root /var/www/example.domain;
           index index.html;

           location / {
                   try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
           }
    }
