Easy Way: Debian Jessie
-----------------------
**Step 1:** Setup Sudo
By default Debian does not come with sudo. Log in as root or use su command.
N.B. The instructions below are for setting up sudo for your current account, you can
do this as root if you prefer.
::
root@host:~# aptitude install -y apache2 mysql-server php5 php5-mysql build-essential libmysqlclient-dev libssl-dev libbz2-dev libpcre3-dev libdbi-perl libarchive-zip-perl libdate-manip-perl libdevice-serialport-perl libmime-perl libpcre3 libwww-perl libdbd-mysql-perl libsys-mmap-perl yasm automake autoconf libjpeg8-dev libjpeg8 apache2-mpm-prefork libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli libphp-serialization-perl libgnutls-dev libjpeg8-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libavutil-dev libv4l-dev libtool ffmpeg libnetpbm10-dev libavdevice-dev libmime-lite-perl dh-autoreconf dpatch;
apt-get update
apt-get install sudo
usermod -a -G sudo <username>
exit
root@host:~# git clone https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinder.git zoneminder;
root@host:~# cd zoneminder;
root@host:~# ln -s distros/debian;
root@host:~# dpkg-checkbuilddeps;
root@host:~# dpkg-buildpackage;
Logout or try ``newgrp`` to reload user groups
One level above you'll now find a deb package matching the architecture of the build host:
**Step 2:** Run sudo and update
Now run session using sudo and ensure system is updated.
::
root@host:~# ls -1 ~/zoneminder*;
/root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1_amd64.changes
/root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1_amd64.deb
/root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1.dsc
/root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1.tar.gz
sudo -i
apt-get upgrade
The dpkg command itself does not resolve dependencies. That's what high-level interfaces like aptitude and apt-get are normally for. Unfortunately, unlike RPM, there's no easy way to install a separate deb package not contained with any repository.
**Step 3:** Install Apache and MySQL
These are not dependencies for the package as they could
be installed elsewhere.
To overcome this "limitation" we'll use dpkg only to install the zoneminder package and apt-get to fetch all needed dependencies afterwards. Running dpkg-reconfigure in the end will ensure that the setup scripts e.g. for database provisioning were executed.
::
root@host:~# dpkg -i /root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1_amd64.deb; apt-get install -f;
root@host:~# dpkg-reconfigure zoneminder;
apt-get install apache2 mysql-server
**Step 4:** Edit sources.list to add jessie-backports
Alternatively you may also use gdebi to automatically resolve dependencies during installation:
::
root@host:~# aptitude install -y gdebi;
root@host:~# gdebi /root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1_amd64.deb;
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the following to the bottom of the file
::
# Backports repository
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free
CTRL+o and <Enter> to save
CTRL+x to exit
**Step 5:** Install ZoneMinder
::
apt-get update
apt-get install zoneminder
**Step 6:** Read the Readme
The rest of the install process is covered in the README.Debian, so feel free to have
a read.
::
gunzip /usr/share/doc/zoneminder/README.Debian.gz
cat /usr/share/doc/zoneminder/README.Debian
**Step 7:** Setup Database
Install the zm database and setup the user account. Refer to Hints in Ubuntu install
should you choose to change default database user and password.
::
cat /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql | sudo mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf
echo 'grant lock tables,alter,create,select,insert,update,delete,index on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by "zmpass";' | sudo mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf mysql
** Step 8:** zm.conf Permissions
Adjust permissions to the zm.conf file to allow web account to access it.
::
chgrp -c www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf
**Step 9:** Setup ZoneMinder service
::
systemctl enable zoneminder.service
**Step 10:** Configure Apache
The following commands will setup the default /zm virtual directory and configure
required apache modules.
::
a2enconf zoneminder
a2enmod cgi
a2enmod rewrite
**Step 11:** Edit Timezone in PHP
::
nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
Search for [Date] (Ctrl + w then type Date and press Enter) and change
date.timezone for your time zone. **Don't forget to remove the ; from in front
of date.timezone**
::
[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = America/New_York
CTRL+o then [Enter] to save
CTRL+x to exit
**Step 12:** Start ZoneMinder
Reload Apache to enable your changes and then start ZoneMinder.
::
systemctl reload apache2
systemctl start zoneminder
**Step 13:** Making sure ZoneMinder works
1. Open up a browser and go to ``http://hostname_or_ip/zm`` - should bring up ZoneMinder Console
2. (Optional API Check)Open up a tab in the same browser and go to ``http://hostname_or_ip/zm/api/host/getVersion.json``
If it is working correctly you should get version information similar to the example below:
::
{
"version": "1.29.0",
"apiversion": "1.29.0.1"
}
**Congratulations** Your installation is complete

Easy Way: Install ZoneMinder from a package (Ubuntu 15.x+)
-----------------------------------------------------------
These instructions are for a brand new ubuntu 15.04 system which does not have ZM installed.
Easy Way: Ubuntu 16.04
----------------------
These instructions are for a brand new ubuntu 16.04 system which does not have ZM
installed.
**Step 1**: Make sure we add the correct packages
It is recommended that you use an Ubuntu Server install and select the LAMP option
during install to install Apache, MySQL and PHP. If you failed to do this you can
achieve the same result by running:
::
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder
sudo apt-get update
tasksel install lamp-server
if you don't have mysql already installed:
During installation it will ask you to set up a master/root password for the MySQL.
**Step 1:** Either run commands in this install using sudo or use the below to become root
::
sudo -i
**Step 2:** Update Repos
.. topic :: Latest Release
ZoneMinder 1.29.0 is now part of the current standard Ubuntu repository. But
if you wish to install the later releases of ZoneMinder you will need
to add the iconnor/zoneminder PPA.
::
add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder
Update repo and upgrade.
::
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
This will ask you to set up a master password for the DB (you are asked for the mysql root password when installing mysql server).
**Step 3:** Configure MySQL
**Step 2**: Install ZoneMinder
.. sidebar :: Note
The MySQL default configuration file (/etc/mysql/mysql.cnf)is read through
several symbolic links beginning with /etc/mysql/my.cnf as follows:
| /etc/mysql/my.cnf -> /etc/alternatives/my.cnf
| /etc/alternatives/my.cnf -> /etc/mysql/mysql.cnf
| /etc/mysql/mysql.cnf is a basic file
Certain new defaults in MySQL 5.7 are currently causing some issues with ZoneMinder,
the workaround is to modify the sql_mode setting of MySQL.
To better manage the MySQL server it is recommended to copy the sample config file and
replace the default my.cnf symbolic link.
::
sudo apt-get install zoneminder
rm /etc/mysql/my.cnf (this removes the current symbolic link)
cp /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf
**Step 3**: Configure the Database
To change MySQL settings:
::
sudo mysql -uroot -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
In the [mysqld] section add the following
::
sql_mode = NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION
CTRL+o then [Enter] to save
CTRL+x to exit
Restart MySQL
::
systemctl restart mysql
**Step 4:** Install ZoneMinder
::
apt-get install zoneminder
**Step 5:** Configure the ZoneMinder Database
::
mysql -uroot -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
mysql -uroot -p -e "grant select,insert,update,delete,create,alter,index,lock tables on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';"
You don't really need this, but no harm (needed if you are upgrading)
**Step 6:** Set permissions
Set /etc/zm/zm.conf to root:www-data 740 and www-data access to content
::
sudo /usr/bin/zmupdate.pl
chmod 740 /etc/zm/zm.conf
chown root:www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf
chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/
**Step 4**: Configure systemd to recognize ZoneMinder and configure Apache correctly:
**Step 7:** Configure Apache correctly:
::
sudo systemctl enable zoneminder
sudo a2enconf zoneminder
sudo a2enmod cgi
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/
a2enconf zoneminder
a2enmod cgi
a2enmod rewrite
We need this for API routing to work:
**Step 8:** Enable and start Zoneminder
::
sudo a2enmod rewrite
systemctl enable zoneminder
systemctl start zoneminder
This is probably a bug with iconnor's PPA as of Oct 3, 2015 with package 1.28.107. After installing, ``zm.conf`` does not have the right read permissions, so we need to fix that. This may go away in future PPA releases:
**Step 9:** Edit Timezone in PHP
::
sudo chown www-data:www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf
nano /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
We also need to install php5-gd (as of 1.28.107, this is not installed)
Search for [Date] (Ctrl + w then type Date and press Enter) and change
date.timezone for your time zone, see [this](http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php).
**Don't forget to remove the ; from in front of date.timezone**
::
sudo apt-get install php5-gd
[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = America/New_York
**Step 5**: Edit Timezone in PHP
CTRL+o then [Enter] to save
CTRL+x to exit
**Step 10:** Reload Apache service
::
vi /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
systemctl reload apache2
Look for [Date] and inside it you will see a date.timezone
that is commented. remove the comment and specific your timezone.
Please make sure the timezone is valid (see this: http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php)
**Step 11:** Making sure ZoneMinder works
In my case:
1. Open up a browser and go to ``http://hostname_or_ip/zm`` - should bring up ZoneMinder Console
::
2. (Optional API Check)Open up a tab in the same browser and go to ``http://hostname_or_ip/zm/api/host/getVersion.json``
date.timezone = America/New_York
If it is working correctly you should get version information similar to the example below:
**Step 6**: Restart services
::
::
{
"version": "1.29.0",
"apiversion": "1.29.0.1"
}
sudo service apache2 reload
sudo systemctl restart zoneminder
**Congratulations** Your installation is complete
PPA install may need some tweaking of ZMS_PATH in ZoneMinder options. `Socket_sendto or no live streaming`_
**Step 7: make sure live streaming works**: Make sure you can view Monitor streams:
startup ZM console in your browser, go to ``Options->Path`` and make sure ``PATH_ZMS`` is set to ``/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms`` and restart ZM (you should not need to do this for packages, as this should automatically work)
**Step 8**: If you have changed your DB login/password from zmuser/zmpass, the API won't know about it
If you changed the DB password **after** installing ZM, the APIs will not be able to connect to the DB.
If you have, go to ``zoneminder/www/api/app/Config`` & Edit ``database.php``
There is a class there called ``DATABASE_CONFIG`` - change the ``$default`` array to reflect your new details. Example:
::
public $default = array(
'datasource' => 'Database/Mysql',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => 'localhost',
'login' => 'mynewDBusername',
'password' => 'mynewDBpassword'
'database' => 'zm',
'prefix' => '',
//'encoding' => 'utf8',
);
You are done. Lets proceed to make sure everything works:
Making sure ZM and APIs work:
1. open up a browser and go to ``http://localhost/zm`` - should bring up ZM
2. (OPTIONAL - just for peace of mind) open up a tab and go to ``http://localhost/zm/api`` - should bring up a screen showing CakePHP version with some green color boxes. Green is good. If you see red, or you don't see green, there may be a problem (should not happen). Ignore any warnings in yellow saying "DebugKit" not installed. You don't need it
3. open up a tab in the same browser and go to ``http://localhost/zm/api/host/getVersion.json``
If it responds with something like:
::
{
"version": "1.28.107",
"apiversion": "1.28.107.1"
}
**Then your APIs are working**
Make sure ZM and APIs work with security:
1. Enable OPT_AUTH in ZM
2. Log out of ZM in browser
3. Open a NEW tab in the SAME BROWSER (important) and go to ``http://localhost/zm/api/host/getVersion.json`` - should give you "Unauthorized" along with a lot more of text
4. Go to another tab in the SAME BROWSER (important) and log into ZM
5. Repeat step 3 and it should give you the ZM and API version
**Congrats** your installation is complete
Easy Way: Install ZoneMinder from a package (Ubuntu 14.x)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Easy Way: Ubuntu 14.x
---------------------
**These instructions are for a brand new ubuntu 14.x system which does not have ZM installed.**
**Step 1:** Install ZoneMinder
**Step 1:** Either run commands in this install using sudo or use the below to become root
::
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install zoneminder
sudo -i
**Step 2:** Install ZoneMinder
::
add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder
apt-get update
apt-get install zoneminder
(just press OK for the prompts you get)
**Step 2:** Set up DB
**Step 3:** Set up DB
::
sudo mysql -uroot -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
mysql -uroot -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
mysql -uroot -p -e "grant select,insert,update,delete,create,alter,index,lock tables on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';"

**Step 4:** Set up Apache
::
sudo a2enconf zoneminder
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo a2enmod cgi
a2enconf zoneminder
a2enmod rewrite
a2enmod cgi
**Step 4:**:Some tweaks that will be needed:
Edit ``/etc/init.d/zoneminder``:
add a ``sleep 10`` right after line 25 that reads ``echo -n "Starting $prog:"``
(The reason we need this sleep is to make sure ZM starts after mysqld starts)
As of Oct 3 2015, zm.conf is not readable by ZM. This is likely a bug and will go away in the next package
**Step 5:** Make zm.conf readable by web user.
::
sudo chown www-data:www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf
**Step 5**: If you have changed your DB login/password
If you changed the DB password **after** installing ZM, the APIs will not be able to connect to the DB.
If you have, go to ``/usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app/Config`` & Edit ``database.php``

}
Then your APIs are working
Make sure you can view Monitor View:
1. Open up ZM, configure your monitors and verify you can view Monitor feeds.
2. If not, open up ZM console in your browser, go to ``Options->Path`` and make sure ``PATH_ZMS`` is set to ``/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms`` and restart ZM (you should not need to do this for packages, as this should automatically work)

Note that the ``lsb_release -a 2>/dev/null | grep Codename | awk '{print $2}'`` part simply extracts your distribution name - like "vivid", "trusty" etc. You can always replace it by your distro name if you know it. As far as the script goes, it checks if your distro is "trusty" in which case it pulls in pre-systemd release configurations and if its not "trusty" it assumes its based on systemd and pulls in systemd related config files.

Hints
-----
Make sure ZoneMinder and APIs work with security
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
sudo a2enmod cgi rewrite
sudo a2enconf zoneminder
1. Enable OPT_AUTH in ZoneMinder
2. Log out of ZoneMinder in browser
3. Open a new tab in the *same browser* (important) and go to
``http://localhost/zm/api/host/getVersion.json`` - should give you "Unauthorized"
along with a lot more of text
4. Go to another tab in the SAME BROWSER (important) and log into ZM
5. Repeat step 3 and it should give you the ZM and API version
Socket_sendto or no live streaming
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After you have setup your camera make sure you can view Monitor streams, if not
check some of the common causes:
* Check Apache cgi module is enabled.
* Check Apache /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zoneminder.conf ScriptAlias matches PATH_ZMS.
ScriptAlias **/zm/cgi-bin** /usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin
From console go to ``Options->Path`` and make sure PATH_ZMS is set to **/zm/cgi-bin/**\ nph-zms.
Changed Default DB User
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
**Step 6:** Fix PHP TimeZone
If you have changed your DB login/password from zmuser/zmpass, you need to
update these values in zm.conf and the API's database.php file.
``sudo vi /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini``
1. Edit zm.conf to change ZM_DB_USER and ZM_DB_PASS to the values you used.
Look for [Date] and inside it you will see a date.timezone that is commented. remove the comment and specific your timezone. Please make sure the timezone is valid (see http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php)
2. Edit databse.php which can be found in the web server folder zoneminder/www/api/app/Config
Example:
``date.timezone = America/New_York``
**Step 7:** Fix some key permission issues and make sure API works
There is a class there called DATABASE_CONFIG -
change the $default array to reflect your new details. Example:
::
sudo chown www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf
sudo chown -R www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/
**Step 8:** Restart all services
::
sudo service apache2 restart
sudo service zoneminder restart
Check if ZM is running properly
::
sudo service zoneminder status
**Step 9:** Make sure streaming works - set PATH_ZMS
open up ZM console in your browser, go to Options->Path and make sure ``PATH_ZMS`` is set to ``/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms`` and restart ZM
**Step 10:** Make sure everything works
* point your browser to http://yourzmip/zm - you should see ZM console running
* point your browser to http://yourzmip/zm/api/host/getVersion.json - you should see an API version
* Configure your monitors and make sure its all a-ok
