I am following this medium page to upgrade the Nginx version.
But, it is still showing the 1.18 version after I upgrade.
soubhagya.pradhan@FALAIDEDEV01:~$ nginx -v
nginx version: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)
I got no error in the process too. How I can upgrade Nginx to the latest version?
I am expecting this to be upgraded to the latest version.

The latest version that the ppa:nginx/stable repository has is 1.18, as you can see here:
https://launchpad.net/~nginx/+archive/ubuntu/stable
So that’s why you are getting this version.
To avoid building it from sources, you can use ready-made packages of nginx for certain Linux distros as described here, e.g. for Ubuntu (only 20.04, 22.04, 22.10 and 23.04 Ubuntu versions are supported now). You will need to set up the nginx packages repository (instead of or in addition to your distro’s default repositories).
Version
1.25.*
of nginx is currently available in "mainline" repo (http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/ubuntu
, nothttp://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu
). But keep in mind that this may change over time.
