Does pythonanywhere give an error when trying to install nginx on hosting?

Question

Python

When trying to install nginx, it gives an error. I understand that I need to get a user, but to create a user I need a root user, but I don’t know how to get it:

16:33 ~ $ sudo apt-get install nginx
sudo: unknown user: root
sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin

How do I install nginx (sorry, I'm a complete layman in this)?

Answer 1

this is essentially a shared hosting nginx you already have installed and you can’t install anything yourself,
take vds if you want everything yourself

Answer 2

Hm. And where did you get the idea that you can put something there? This is a cloud platform for running python scripts, everything you need - if you need to run python scripts - should already be there. And only its (pythonanywhere) admins can put something there.
