Hello,
I recommend you install it via Cpanel. Am not sure if the software could be installed via nginx. Maybe twisted would answer this.
Thank You!

Is this a managed VPS? If so, all you most likely have to do is upload mailwizz to a root domain (example.com), a directory (example.com/mailwizz) or a subdomain mailwizz.example.com) of your choosing. During the course of the install, the installation will check to ensure all the necessary PHP modules needed for mailwizz to function are available.
If this is unmanaged, there are plenty of tutorials for installation of Nginx & PHP-FPM (required to execute PHP) on Google and Youtube. Or you can just hire someone.
P.S. Be sure to confirm that your VPS is managed or not first. If you attempt one of the tutorials online and you have a control panel already installed, you'll screw up your server and have a mess to clean up.

@twisted1919 & anyone else. - Be mindful. A lot of these Nginx tutorials have insecure configs and don't contain "try_files $uri =404;" for executing PHP which can possibly leave your server vulnerable to remote exploit. It's why I can't recommend enough to get on certain mailing lists for services running on your servers.

There is a simpler solution - free control panel VestaCP.

I meant that to install and configure Nginx+Apache or Nginx+PHP-FPM or etc. without a deep knowledge of system administration, you can install a turnkey solution VestaCP. If you need to install additional modules, most of system modules are in the repository.
