 apt-get update
 apt-get install apt-transport-https gnupg
 wget -O - https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/archive-keyring.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
 apt-get update
 apt-get install zoneminder  vlc-plugin-base php7.0-gd
 adduser www-data video
 apt-get install zoneminder
 a2enmod cgi
 a2enmod rewrite
 a2enconf zoneminder
 chmod 740 /etc/zm/zm.conf
 chown root:www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf
 mysql -uroot -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
 mysql -uroot -p -e "grant all on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';"
 mysqladmin -uroot -p reload
 chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/

may need to set timezone in /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
(for 1.32.3 you do. In 1.34 it will be managed in zm options)

e.g. date.timezone America/New_York

 service apache2 restart

At this point, you will not have an /etc/init.d/ file for zoneminder

You must copy one from an existing install, or from 1.29 or 1.30.4.
I'm going to put the init script from 1.30.4 in [[Zoneminder_Init_Script]]


after copying that in, and chmod +x /etc/init.d/zoneminder

zoneminder should start:

# service zoneminder start
Starting ZoneMinder: 01/27/2020 12:27:42.776878 zmpkg[2722].INF [main:57] [Command: start]
01/27/2020 12:27:42.778627 zmpkg[2722].INF [main:305] [Sanity checking States table...]
01/27/2020 12:27:42.780839 zmpkg[2722].INF [main:97] [Command: start]
01/27/2020 12:27:44.231615 zmpkg[2722].INF [main:205] [Single server configuration detected. Starting up services.]
success


double check by reviewing 
 ps auxw | grep zm

==Upgrading==

Now, if you are importing an existing db, now is a good time. Stop zm, and import the db.

 service zoneminder stop

 mysqldump -u root -p zm > dump.sql  (export old db) 
 mysql -uroot -p zm < dump.sql  (import old db)

After this is done, you need to update the db

 # zmupdate.pl

run this at least twice, as it tends to error out. If it's already updated, nothing new will happen.

you should see something like:
Database upgrade to version 1.32.3 successful.

Then start zm

 service zoneminder start

you might want to run zmaudit.pl to delete non existing events on the new install




==1.32.3 Version Notes==
Make sure to configure storage for each camera.
in 1.32.3 cameras can now record to specific partitions.
