Debian 12 with Zoneminder 1.36.x
Debian 12 Bookworm is released with Zoneminder 1.36.33 and as usual for Debian the zm database needs to be created manually.
Note: This version has been verified with Bookworm Debian 12 official release. A few issues have been found and corrected. Zoneminder now opens in Firefox (Windows, Linux and Android), Edge, Chrome (on Android). ZmNinja on Android also works. If using ZmNinja you may have to clear the API cache. Please report other errors on the Zoneminder forum.
In time a version of Zoneminder for Bookworm will be made available in the 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.
Become root
sudo su
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 Apache2, PHP and your favorite database (Mariadb recommended). 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 (This may not be necessary but does not hurt and will allow the time of events to be displayed correctly)
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
Restart Apache
service apache2 restart
or
systemctl restart apache2
Install Zoneminder
apt install zoneminder
Create Zoneminder database in MySQL (Note: this also creates the default Zoneminder user and permissions in MySQL) Use the server root password when prompted.
mysql -uroot -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
mysql -uroot -p -e "grant all on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';"
mysqladmin -uroot -p reload
Set permissions
chmod 640 /etc/zm/zm.conf chown root:www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf chown -R www-data:www-data /var/cache/zoneminder/ chmod 755 /var/cache/zoneminder/
Replace zoneminder.conf
cp /etc/apache2/conf-available/zoneminder.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/zoneminder.conf.sav
rm /etc/apache2/conf-available/zoneminder.conf
nano /etc/apache2/conf-available/zoneminder.conf
Paste the following content into nano:

Enable Zoneminder service to start at boot
systemctl enable zoneminder.service
Add www-data to the sudo group (to enable use of local video devices)
adduser www-data video
Start Zoneminder
systemctl start zoneminder.service
Enable Zoneminder configuration in Apache.
a2enconf zoneminder a2enmod rewrite a2enmod headers a2enmod expires a2enmod cgi service apache2 reload
Install complete. Open Zoneminder/Options and set the timezone in Options/System. Add cameras.
Debian 12 with Zoneminder 1.37.x
Install Zoneminder Development Branch 1.37.x on Debian 12
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.
Install Apache2, PHP and your favorite database (Mariadb recommended). A quick way to install LAMP is:
apt install apache2 mariadb-server php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql lsb-release gnupg2
Become root with sudo su before running this!
Shell script file contents:
#!/bin/sh clear read -p "This script installs ZoneMinder 1.37.x on Debian 12 with LAMP (MySQL or Mariadb) installed... This script must be run as root! Press Enter to continue or Ctrl + c to quit" nothing clear apt install -y lsb-release gnupg2 echo "deb https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/master "`lsb_release -c -s`"/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zoneminder.list wget -O - https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/archive-keyring.gpg | sudo apt-key add - read -p "Warning! Check above to insure the line says OK. If not the GPG signing key was not installed and you will need to figure out why before continuing. Press enter to continue" nothing apt update clear apt install -y zoneminder systemctl enable zoneminder service zoneminder start adduser www-data video a2enconf zoneminder a2enmod rewrite a2enmod headers a2enmod expires service apache2 reload clear read -p "Install complete. Open Zoneminder/Options and set the timezone. Press enter to continue" nothing clear
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!
