Yii2 assets folder permission issue. Assets folder is not writable

At first, check what user is running your nginx server ps aux | grep nginx

root     18794  0.0  0.2  43372  1496 ?        Ss   17:26   0:00 nginx: master process /opt/nginx/sbin/nginx
www-data 18799  0.0  1.2  43552  6036 ?        S    17:26   0:00 nginx: worker process
deployer 19907  0.0  0.1  14516   900 pts/0    S+   17:45   0:00 grep --color=auto nginx

So, my server user is www-data.

Run these command after going into the project folder:
1. sudo chmod 777 ./assets
2. sudo chmod 777 ./assets/*
2. sudo chgrp www-data ./assets
3.sudo chmod g+w ./assets/
