	~~Ubuntu 24.04 with~~ Zoneminder 1.38.x		==Install Zoneminder 1.38.x on Ubuntu Supported versions with shell script==

	~~Stay tuned~~! ~~Release date~~ is ~~31JAN26~~		This will install Zoneminder 1.38.x by using a shell script with one basic command (how easy is that!).

			You will need a Ubuntu install with LAMP (Apache, MySQL or Mariadb and PHP) installed desktop or server.

			Timezone: it is recommended you set your specific timesone with:

			sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York

			Of course use your timezone in place of America/New_York.


			Google is your friend if you need instructions for setting up a LAMP server. However, a simple LAMP can be installed with these commands:

			apt install apache2 php mariadb-server php-mysql libapache2-mod-php

			Shell script file contents:

			#!/bin/sh
			clear
			read -p "This script installs ZoneMinder 1.38.x on Ubuntu 24.04, 22.04, 20.04 or 18.04 with LAMP (MySQL or Mariadb) installed...
			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-1.38
			apt update
			clear
			apt install -y zoneminder
			systemctl enable zoneminder
			service zoneminder start
			adduser www-data video
			a2enconf zoneminder
			a2enmod rewrite
			a2enmod headers
			a2enmod expires
			service apache2 reload
			clear
			read -p "Install complete. Open Zoneminder/Options and set the timezone. Press enter to continue" nothing
			clear

			Copy the contents of the script, open a terminal and run:

			nano zm-install

			Paste the contents of the script into Nano

			Then:

			Ctrl + o
			Ctrl + x

			Next run:

			chmod 755 zm-install

			Start the script by entering:

			./zm-install

			Follow the prompts. Things are pretty simple. The timezone is now set in Zoneminder/Options.

			Good Luck!

	[[Ubuntu~~\|<Home]]~~		Ubuntu 24.04 with Zoneminder 1.38.x

	~~'''This readme file is for the Zoneminder 1.30.0/Lubuntu 16.04 Live DVD/USB system.'''~~		Stay tuned! Release date is 31JAN26

	~~There is a 64 BIT version of the system. File names:~~

	~~live-cd.iso~~
	~~live-cd-readme.txt~~

	~~Direct download the .iso file: https://1drv.ms/f/s~~!~~ApMZyp0q7cregdQO8OI_rIIaS-GTBQ~~

	~~You can burn the files to DVD, start a PC from the DVD and run/install the system.~~

	~~You can also make a bootable USB. I recommend using Unetbootin (http://unetbootin.github.io/). This is what I used to~~
	~~make a bootable USB. Other programs may work but have not been tested.~~

	~~When you boot the system Lubuntu will open to the desktop. Should a login page come up enter the user enter "ubuntu" and leave the password blank.~~
	~~You must log into Lubuntu to run the installer! This version contains Network Manager to manage network connections.~~

	~~Apache, Mariadb Server and Zoneminder 1.30.0 will run on startup.~~

	~~To access Zoneminder open Firefox and enter http://localhost/zm~~
	~~You can also access Zoneminder from another PC using the IP-Address of the system: http://IP-Address/zm~~

	~~If your install does not get the DNS servers via DHCP it is likely that a symbolic link is missing. You can set a static IP address with nameservers or create the symbolic link with this entry:~~

	~~sudo ln -s /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf~~

	~~Zoneminder is configured with one monitor set to a public camera and, if the system has internet access, should be viewable. You may reconfigure this camera to one of your own.~~

	This system contains an installer which you can use to install this fully functioning Lubuntu/Zoneminder system to your hard drive. When installed to your hard drive you can access Zoneminder using Firefox or a web browser from another PC.
	~~I've had an issue where the installer will crash and not finish the install. A work around is to run the installer with root privileges from a terminal.~~

	~~Open a terminal - System Tools - LXTerminal and enter~~

	~~sudo sh -c 'ubiquity gtk_ui'~~

	~~and press Enter. Do not check any options when the 'Preparing to install Ubuntu' screen appears.~~

	~~Time Zone: you may have to edit the php.ini to correct the time zone entry. See the WIKI for instructions on editing this file.~~

	~~nano /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini~~

	~~Updates: As this is a minimal Lubuntu install the software updater is not provided. To update the installation open a terminal and run:~~

	~~sudo apt update~~
	~~sudo apt upgrade~~
	~~sudo apt dist-upgrade~~


	~~About the system:~~

	~~Install was from Ubuntu 16.04 Minimal CD with Lubuntu Minimal, LAMP with Mariadb Server and OpenSSL.~~

	~~The root password for MySQL~~ is ~~"Passwordzm" Recommend you change the password after you install to hard drive:~~
	~~(http://www.liquidweb.com/kb/change-a-password-for-mysql-on-linux-via-command-line/)~~

	~~Zoneminder was installed using: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Server_16.04_64-bit_with_Zoneminder_1.30.0_the_easy_way~~

	~~Lubuntu Minimal Desktop was installed with Forefox and network manager added afterwards.~~
