Ubuntu Server or Desktop Zoneminder 1.34.x
Install Zoneminder 1.34.x on Ubuntu 16.04 with shell script
This will install Zoneminder by using a shell script with one basic command (how easy is that!).
You will need a Ubuntu 16.04 install with LAMP (Apache, MySQL and PHP) installed desktop or server. As an alternate you may use Mariadb in lieu of MySQL
