ZoneMinder Forums

i'm trying to install Zoneminder on a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 using the directions here: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... e_easy_way At the "install zoneminder" step i get a list of dependencies that are uninstallable (see below). Any ideas? Thank you.

I used the install script yesterday and it ran without error. Are you running on a 32 or 64 bit Ubuntu Bionic?

Edit: Just ran that install on Bionic 64 BIT with LAMP with no errors. Zoneminder up and running in about 5 minutes.

It's 64 bit bit bionic with LAMP.

I found the issue. I was missing the Bionic Main repository for APT.
