Ubuntu Server or Desktop Zoneminder 1.36.x

I have tested Zoneminder under the Ubuntu 12.04 and 13.04 64-bit versions. My reason for doing this was to be able to install a remote control package, such as Teamviewer, to access the PC behind firewalls where I was unable to set up dynamic DNS or port forwarding. I was able to connect to the PC, open Firefox and work with all functions of Zoneminder including viewing events.

Install Zoneminder from the desktop CD or DVD or a USB thumbdrive (see http://www.pendrivelinux.com/)

Open the terminal

become root

sudo su

install tasksel

apt-get install tasksel

Start tasksel

tasksel

Check the option to install LAMP

Install the remote control package of your choice to access your PC from the internet.
