You have to install it from the command line.

Try googling for
zoneminder the easy way
It's a script that does most of the drudgery for you.
Good luck.

You need to readthedocs on installation. The installation will result in a ZM web page, http://whatever_your_server_IP/zm/ and everything for ZM config and use should be through that website.

I didn't get any docs in the install just the download and that was it as I say no instructions anywhere and the info online tells me nothing all I'm looking for is a simple step by step list of commands and how to operate the program but its starting to sound much too difficult
