NOTE: this guide should also work with Debian 9 / Devuan Ascii (with some superfluous errors, due to init script generators using systemctl. Those can be ignored.). Sysvinit users must manually run the db creation script, and procure an /etc/init.d/zoneminder script (for new installs).

The reason this is done, is because the init script generator is using systemctl, and those without systemd don't have this command in the dpkg script at /var/lib/dpkg/info/zoneminder.postinst. So it must be run manually. An /etc/init.d/zoneminder script will also need to be grabbed from an earlier ZM install.

Debian 10 Buster with Zoneminder 1.33.x from the ZM Master Repro

This install procedure was developed to use the Debian package developed by iconnor. This is from the Master development version of Zoneminder 1.33.x but is a bit more stable than Zoneminder 1.32.x version and, in my opinion, works better and is kept up to date better than Zoneminder on Debian repros.

To begin, install Debian 10 (Buster) along with Apache2, PHP and your favorite database (Mariadb recommended). See: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mariadb-php-lamp-stack-on-debian-10

Add the repro 

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Add the following line to the end of the file 

deb https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/master buster/

CTRL+o then [Enter] to save

CTRL+x to exit

Install the following and retrieve the key from the repro 

sudo apt install apt-transport-https gnupg

wget -O - https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/archive-keyring.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

Important - Make sure the above "wget" process completes without error! If it does not complete you will not get the most recent Zoneminder version this procedure is written for. 

sudo apt update

Install Zoneminder 

sudo apt install zoneminder

Enable Zoneminder 

sudo systemctl enable zoneminder.service

Enable Apache Modules 

sudo a2enconf zoneminder
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo a2enmod cgi

Restart Apache and start Zoneminder 

sudo service apache2 reload
sudo systemctl start zoneminder  
OR
sudo service zoneminder restart

Remember to set your timezone in Zoneminder/Options
