Installing zoneminder on Ubuntu is a very simple task, as it is included in many distribution repositories be default. This guide will be installing on a minimal Lubuntu 14.04 64-bit system. 

 * Start by opening a terminal by going to +Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal+ 

 * Then install the package: 
 <pre> 
 sudo apt-get install zoneminder 
 </pre> 
 NOTE: This will install apache2 along with any of the dependencies required by zonemineder. 

 * When the package finished installing, create a symbolic link of the zoneminder web server configuration to the apache sites-enabled folder: 
 <pre> 
 sudo ln -s /etc/zm/apache.conf /etc/zm/apache2.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/zoneminder.conf 
 </pre> 

 * Then restart the web server: 
 <pre> 
 sudo service apache2 restart 
 </pre> 

 * Finally point your web browser to the zoneminder service at http://zoneminderIP/zm/ 

 With the above steps finished the camera server can now be configured to monitor USB cameras, IP cameras, and other camera streams.
