Easy Way: Debian 11 (Bullseye)
------------------------
This procedure will guide you through the installation of ZoneMinder on Debian 11 (Bullseye).
**Step 1:** Setup Sudo (optional but recommended)
By default Debian does not come with sudo, so you have to install it and configure it manually.
This step is optional but recommended and the following instructions assume that you have setup sudo.
If you prefer to setup ZoneMinder as root, do it at your own risk and adapt the following instructions accordingly.
::
apt install sudo
usermod -a -G sudo <username>
exit
Now your terminal session is back under your normal user. You can check that
you are now part of the sudo group with the command ``groups``, "sudo" should
appear in the list. If not, run ``newgrp sudo`` and check again with ``groups``.
**Step 2:** Update system and install zoneminder
Run the following commands.
::
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install mariadb-server
sudo apt install zoneminder
When mariadb is installed for the first time, it doesn't add a password to the root user. Therefore, for security, it is recommended to run ``mysql secure installation``.
**Step 3:** Setup permissions for zm.conf
To make sure zoneminder can read the configuration file, run the following command.
::
sudo chgrp -c www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf
Congratulations! You should now be able to access zoneminder at ``http://yourhostname/zm``
Easy Way: Debian Buster
------------------------
This procedure will guide you through the installation of ZoneMinder on Debian 10 (Buster).
**Step 1:** Make sure your system is up to date
Open a console and use ``su`` command to become root.
::
apt update
apt upgrade
**Step 2:** Setup Sudo (optional but recommended)
By default Debian does not come with sudo, so you have to install it and configure it manually.
This step is optional but recommended and the following instructions assume that you have setup sudo.
If you prefer to setup ZoneMinder as root, do it at your own risk and adapt the following instructions accordingly.
::
apt install sudo
usermod -a -G sudo <username>
exit
Now your terminal session is back under your normal user. You can check that
you are now part of the sudo group with the command ``groups``, "sudo" should
appear in the list. If not, run ``newgrp sudo`` and check again with ``groups``.
**Step 3:** Install Apache and MySQL
These are not dependencies for the ZoneMinder package as they could be
installed elsewhere. If they are not installed yet in your system, you have to
trigger their installation manually.
::
sudo apt install apache2 default-mysql-server
**Step 4:** Add ZoneMinder's Package repository to your apt sources
ZoneMinder's Debian packages are not included in Debian's official package
repositories. To be able to install ZoneMinder with APT, you have to edit the
list of apt sources and add ZoneMinder's repository.
Add the following to the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zoneminder.list file
::
# ZoneMinder repository
deb https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/release-1.36 buster/
You can do this using:
.. code-block::
echo "deb https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/release-1.36 buster/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zoneminder.list
Because ZoneMinder's package repository provides a secure connection through HTTPS, apt must be enabled for HTTPS.
::
sudo apt install apt-transport-https
Ensure you have gnupg installed before importing the apt key in the following step.
::
sudo apt install gnupg
Finally, download the GPG key for ZoneMinder's repository:
::
wget -O - https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/archive-keyring.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
**Step 5:** Install ZoneMinder
::
sudo apt update
sudo apt 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.
::
zcat /usr/share/doc/zoneminder/README.Debian.gz
**Step 7:** Enable ZoneMinder service
::
sudo systemctl enable zoneminder.service
**Step 8:** Configure Apache
The following commands will setup the default /zm virtual directory and configure
required apache modules.
::
sudo a2enconf zoneminder
sudo a2enmod rewrite # this is enabled by default
sudo a2enmod cgi # this is done automatically when installing the package. Redo this command manually only for troubleshooting.
**Step 9:** Edit Timezone in PHP
Automated way:
::
sudo sed -i "s/;date.timezone =/date.timezone = $(sed 's/\//\\\//' /etc/timezone)/g" /etc/php/7.*/apache2/php.ini
Manual way
::
sudo nano /etc/php/7.*/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 10:** Start ZoneMinder
Reload Apache to enable your changes and then start ZoneMinder.
::
sudo systemctl reload apache2
sudo systemctl start zoneminder
You are now ready to go with ZoneMinder. Open a browser and type either ``localhost/zm`` one the local machine or ``{IP-OF-ZM-SERVER}/zm`` if you connect from a remote computer.
Easy Way: Debian Stretch

CTRL+o then [Enter] to save
CTRL+x to exit
**Step 12:** Please check the configuration
1. Check path of ZM_PATH in '/etc/zm/conf.d/zmcustom.conf' is ZM_PATH_ZMS=/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms
::
cat /etc/zm/conf.d/zmcustom.conf
2. Check config of /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zoneminder.conf has the same ScriptAlias /zm/cgi-bin that is configured
in ZM_PATH. The part /nph-zms has to be left out of the ScriptAlias
ScriptAlias /zm/cgi-bin "/usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin"
<Directory "/usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin">
::
cat /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zoneminder.conf
**Step 13:** Start ZoneMinder
Reload Apache to enable your changes and then start ZoneMinder.
::
systemctl reload apache2
systemctl start zoneminder
**Step 14:** 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": "1.34.0",
"apiversion": "1.34.0.1"
}
**Congratulations** Your installation is complete
