Which one to install on Linux Mint 19.1

Post by dudesplace »

I have various Linux distro's Mint 19.1 x64, Lite, and Bodhi Linux as well. Just wondered which to install.
I would prefer to install on LM 19.1 x64..
Question: Is the Debian install the OS and ZM server? As in, is this what to use just to build a ZoneMinder box only?

Basically, you first need to install Linux and then follow one our the installation guides available in the online documentation:

The easiest solution is to install one the Linux Distros for which there is an installation guide for ZoneMinder, i.e. Debian, Ubuntu, RH...

In case someone trips across this...

Make sure that you select a version of ZM that actually works on the intended platform. I jumped up to version 1.32 and found that I couldn't make it stable under Debian (because I had to run the development branch of Debian- most likely not a ZM issue). Had to revert to 1.30 (on Debian Stretch).
