RHEL

Nginx is available only in EPEL:

# dnf -y install epel-release

SLES 12

In SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 you need to add the Nginx repository, before installing Nginx:

zypper addrepo -G -t yum -c 'http://nginx.org/packages/sles/12' nginx

You also need to configure php-fpm (the path to configuration file may vary slightly depending on the service pack):

cp /etc/php7/fpm/php-fpm.conf{.default,}
       sed -i 's/user = nobody/user = wwwrun/; s/group = nobody/group = www/' /etc/php7/fpm/php-fpm.conf

In SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 you need to configure php-fpm (the path to configuration file may vary slightly depending on the service pack):

       cp /etc/php7/fpm/php-fpm.d/www.conf{.default,}
       sed -i 's/user = nobody/user = wwwrun/; s/group = nobody/group = www/' /etc/php7/fpm/php-fpm.d/www.conf
