# The Nginx config dir will be ~/etc/nginx.
# The default HTML directory will be ~/htdocs/html.

# IMPORTANT NOTE: this script makes an attempt to be "upgrade-friendly". It backs up
# up the existing nginx directory, prior to upgrading, and also makes a copy of the
# existing ~/etc/nginx/nginx.conf file.

# WARNING: YOU WILL NEED TO RESTORE YOUR ORIGINAL NGINX, after you run `make install`
