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.
::
apt-get update
apt-get install sudo
usermod -a -G sudo <username>
exit
Logout or try ``newgrp`` to reload user groups
**Step 2:** Run sudo and update
Now run session using sudo and ensure system is updated.
::
sudo -i
apt-get upgrade
**Step 3:** Install Apache and MySQL
These are not dependencies for the package as they could
be installed elsewhere.
::
apt-get install apache2 mysql-server
**Step 4:** Edit sources.list to add jessie-backports
::
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
