How to Install ZoneMinder

ZoneMinder releases are hosted at RPM Fusion. New users should navigate to the RPM Fusion site then follow the instructions to enable that repo.

Note

RHEL/CentOS 7 users should use yum instead of dnf

RHEL/CentOS 7 & 8 users must enable the EPEL repo:

sudo dnf install epel-release

RHEL/CentOS 8 users must also enable the PowerTools repo:

sudo dnf install dnf-plugins-core
sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools

Once the additional repos are enabled, install ZoneMinder from the commandline. Choose the package that matches the desired web server.

Install ZoneMinder for Apache web server:

Note

A virtual package called zoneminder exists. This package contains no files and will pull in the zoneminder-httpd package for backwards compatiblity.

sudo dnf install zoneminder-httpd

Install ZoneMinder for Nginx web server:

sudo dnf install zoneminder-nginx

Once ZoneMinder has been installed, you must read the README file to complete the installation. Fedora users can find the README under /usr/share/doc/zoneminder-common. RHEL/CentOS users can find the README under /usr/share/doc/zoneminder-common-x.xx where x.xx is the version of zoneminder.

ZoneMinder will NOT run without completing the steps shown in the README!
