Ubuntu Server 10.10 64-bit with ZoneMinder 1.24.2 from source, FFmpeg, libjpeg-turbo, Webmin, Cambozola

My apoligies for the lack of proper wiki formatting in this guide. I put this together as a text file which would simplify copying and pasting into a terminal as my typing skills are horrendous.

  • This guide is not intended to assist in installing Ubuntu or using ZoneMinder, only to obtain a simplified installation of ZoneMinder that is fast and just works.
#Install Ubuntu Server Edition 10.10 64-bit. (http://www.ubuntu.com/business/get-ubuntu/download)
#At software selection, select LAMP and OpenSSH server.
#After install completes, log in and set a static IP address in /etc/network/interfaces. Edit the addresses to suit YOUR network:

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

sudo ifup -a

#Once networking is in order and you can reach the internet, ssh into your zoneminder system from another linux computer on your LAN.
#Now you can copy/paste the following commands into a terminal unless you prefer to type. Multiple commands without an empty line in between 
#can be copied and pasted together. Do not paste lines that start with #
