-    There's another branch called "stable", but it's actually a little outdated for most use cases. It will receive no new features as they are developed, and only the most urgently-needed bug fixes and security upgrades.

-    The developers of Nginx consider the "mainline" branch to be well-tested and stable for general use, *as it gets all new features, all security fixes, and all bug fixes.*
-
-    The only reasons to use the "stable" branch include:
-    * You *really* want to be sure that new features and big-fixes won't break any third-party code or custom code of your own.
-    * You want to stick with the Rocky Linux software repositories only.
-
-    A tutorial at the end of this guide will detail how to enable and install the "stable" branch with minimal fuss.

-## Installing the Repository & Enabling the Module
+## Installing and Running Nginx
 
 First, make sure your machine is updated:
 
 ```bash
 sudo dnf update
 ```
 
-Then, install the `epel-release` software repository:
-
-```bash
-sudo dnf install epel-release
-```
-
-Then enable the right module for the latest version of `nginx`. This module will always be called `nginx:manline`, so just enable it with `dnf` like so:
-
-```bash
-sudo dnf module enable nginx:mainline
-```
-
-It'll give you the usual "Are you sure you want to do that?", but this isn't 2nd Edition D&D with Gary Gygax himself, so yes. Of course you do. Hit ++y++ to confirm.

+Then, install the `nginx` package:
 
 ```bash
 sudo dnf install nginx
 ```
 
-The terminal will ask you if you’re fine with installing the repository’s GPG key. You need that, so choose `Y` for yes.
-
 Once the installation is done, start the `nginx` service and enable it to automatically start on reboot all in one go with:
 
 ```bash
 sudo systemctl enable --now nginx
 ```

+To verify that the latest version of *Nginx* (the latest version from the Rocky repos, anyway) has been installed, run:
 
 ```bash
 nginx -v
 ```
 
 From there, you could just start dropping HTML files into the `/usr/share/nginx/html/` directory to build a simple, static website. The configuration file for the default website/virtual host is called “nginx.conf” and it’s in `/etc/nginx/`. It also holds a number of other basic Nginx server configurations, so even if you choose to move the actual website config to another file, you should probably leave the rest of "nginx.conf" intact.
 
+!!! Note
+
+    Old versions of this guide used to detail how to install the nginx-mainline package from ELRepo. This is no longer an option, however. In most cases, the version of Nginx in Rocky's repos is more than sufficient, providing a stable base with backported security patches. Those who still want to use the nginx-mainline branch can follow [this guide from LinuxCapable](https://www.linuxcapable.com/how-to-install-nginx-mainline-on-rocky-linux/). Please note that using nginx-mainline is usually perfectly viable, but not supported.
