To install Vanilla Forums with Nginx, download the latest version, set up your Nginx server block, and create a database. You can follow the installation instructions in the Vanilla documentation for a detailed guide.

You'll need to install and configure a database like MySQL or MariaDB. Create a new database and user for your Vanilla Forums installation. Then, download the latest Vanilla Forums release from the provided link and extract it to your Nginx web root directory.
