I know I have to compile 3rd party module if I want to use it. And I want to know if I have to compile and install Nginx to use 3rd party module. Please let me know. ---

Usually the module has some form of documentation where installation instructions are provided. Generically you need a config file and to pass the nginx configure script a --add-module argument for the module you want to compile in: ``` --add-module=/path/to/module ``` — appa ---
