- Be advised that you need to start with a clean system before installing ZoneMinder.
- If you have previously installed ZoneMinder from-source, then your system is **NOT** clean. You must manually search for and delete all ZoneMinder related files before using zmrepo (look under /usr/local). Make uninstall helps, but it will not do this for you correctly. You **WILL** have problems if you ignore this step.

- Disable any other third party repos and uninstall any of ZoneMinder's third party dependencies, which might already be on the system, especially ffmpeg and vlc. Attempting to install dependencies yourself often causes problems.

How to Install Nightly Development Builds
-----------------------------------------
ZoneMinder development packages, which represent the most recent build from our master branch, are available from `zmrepo <https://www.zoneminder.com>`_.
The feedback we get from those who use these development packages is extremely helpful. However, please understand these packages are intended for testing the latest master branch only. They are not intended to be used on any production system. There will be new bugs, and new features may not be documented. This is bleeding edge, and there might be breakage. Please keep that in mind when using this repo. We know from our user forum that this can't be stated enough.
How to Change from Zmrepo to RPM Fusion
---------------------------------------
As mentioned above, the place to get the latest ZoneMinder release is now `RPM Fusion <https://rpmfusion.org>`_. If you are currently using ZoneMinder release packages from Zmrepo, then the following steps will change you over to RPM Fusion:
- Navigate to the `RPM Fusion site <https://rpmfusion.org>`_ and enable RPM Fusion on your system
- Now issue the following from the command line:
::
sudo dnf remove zmrepo
sudo dnf update
Note that RHEL/CentOS 7 users should use yum instead of dnf.
