Hi all. I want to learn Nginx. I haven't started the tutorial yet but
I had an earlier edition back in the day. The tutor advises to install
Nginx from source. Is this a good way to install nginx? Or should I
use my package manager to install it? I'm on Linux Opensuse. If I use
my package manager, is it easy to find out which directory the nginx
related files and directories installed to? I'm a Linux noob so
installing packages is new to me.

Also If I use my package manager, what packages should I install?
There are so many, here's the list. Please remember my main question
is should I install from source or get the package from the repo via
my package manager? Thanksso much  for your help:) Which packages to
install:?
