This will install Zoneminder by using a shell script with one basic command (how easy is that!).
You will need a Ubuntu 18.04 install with LAMP (Apache, MySQL and PHP) installed desktop or server. As an alternate you may use Mariadb in lieu of MySQL
Shell script file contents:
#!/bin/sh clear read -p "This script installs Zoneminder 1.32.x on Ubuntu 18.04 AMD64 with LAMP (MySQL) installed... Press Enter to continue or Ctrl + c to quit" nothing clear read -p "You must be logged in as root using sudo su ... Press Enter to continue or Ctrl + c to quit" nothing clear read -p "Next we will add the PPA repository, install and configure the system to run Zoneminder. Press enter to continue" nothing apt install -y software-properties-common clear add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-1.32 apt update clear awk '$0="date.timezone = "$0' /etc/timezone >> /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini clear apt install -y zoneminder systemctl enable zoneminder service zoneminder start adduser www-data video a2enconf zoneminder a2enmod rewrite chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/ service apache2 reload clear read -p "Install complete.Press enter to continue" nothing clear
