Zoneminder 1.38.x on Supported Debian Versions

Zoneminder 1.38.x from zmrepo

You will have to install sudo and add the user to the sudoers file.

Become root with

su

Install sudo

apt install sudo

Then add the user

/sbin/adduser username sudo 

I recommend rebooting at this point but a log out and back in also works.

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

timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York

Of course use your timezone in place of America/New_York. Install LAMO (Apache2, MariaDB and PHP. A quick way to install LAMP is:

apt install apache2 mariadb-server php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql lsb-release gnupg2

Add timezone to PHP

nano /etc/php/8.2/apache2/php.ini

Search for [Date] (Ctrl + w then type Date and press Enter) and make changes as follows for your time zone

[Date]

Defines the default timezone used by the date functions

http://php.net/date.timezone

date.timezone = America/New_York

Ctrl+o Enter to save

CTRL+x to exit

Become root with sudo su before running this!

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!
