New install my a newbie

[Bruce69]

Hi all

Firstly thank you for reading and secondly i apologise if there is another thread. I have been forced to message on here due to going round in circles with an install.

I am currently running Ubuntu Server 18.10. Using some guides i was able to get a semi working Zoneminder 1.30. I had issues with the stills and frames not showing. I Then noticed that this was not the latest version so i started my journey to do this and so far....not great.

I found that the ppa's for 1.32 and master dont seem to work. I get numerous errors (see below) I seem to be only able to get v1.30 installed. I have tried following some instructions on "docker" failed miserably. Can anyone please help with a complete idiots guide to get this working?

Thank you

Last I checked zm 1.30.4 was the only version for Ubuntu 18.10. Drop back to Ubuntu 18.04 to run the latest zm.

Actually the zoneminder-master PPA has a 1.32.2 develpoment version for Cosmic
