Was following tutorial for installing nginx on my ubuntu 20.04 droplet found here :https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-nginx-on-ubuntu-20-04 but have not been successful. After following all of the instructions I made it to this point… sudo apt update sudo apt install nginx When I run the last command I get the response “packages have unmet dependencies” I thought I could track down the modules from https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/httpd/ and install each one that may be missing, but it wont let me install those either. Im a newbie to this so I’m sure its a simple solution but Ive been trying to figure it out for a whole day now and feel just more confused. Can you help?
Thank you

Hello, supporte9f4f319ab27f76a702
You can try to install it using this command:
sudo apt --fix-broken install nginx
If this does not solve the issue for you, I will recommend to either delete the /etc/nginx folder and uninstall/remove Nginx and start from scratch or to install it on a fresh droplet if you’re currently trying to install it on a droplet that runs other web servers like Apache and etc.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
