This was a great explanation of Easy Engine, thanks! I've been using it for two months now, the main website has some awesome tutorials for anyone who needs more information, I'll leave the link before.
There's also a great alternative to Easy Engine called Trellis, you can check that out too.

Cheers!

There are too many commands to install Easyengine, do I need to run every commands in the post?

after installed Easyengine, There are some configurations I need to do to make websites work with this LEMP stack?

EasyEngine provides tons of options for advanced users who want to use various LEMP setups, even for users who like using old-fashion cache plugins for Wordpress. However if you want something that is pre-optimized and very simple (no cache plugins, only Nginx server-level cache) you can try Webinoly or SlickStack.

SlickStack is bare bones, only sudo bash /var/www/ss-SCRIPTNAME ... so no need to learn a new language of shortcut commands.

Webinoly is like EasyEngine but a bit more simple, still need to learn commands however.

Never heard of Trellis and even I searched this on Google but not found.

Trellis is made by Roots, it has been around a while but they don't really do any marketing, big following tho among inhouse teams who use env vars and GitHub for their workflow, but for shell script newbies it will be way too difficult to learn if that is your first time in server deployment tools.
