ZoneMinder Forums

I'm looking to move away from Windows and blue iris and I just can not find a simple install setup for Zoneminder. I follow instruction pages and I run into things like "http://hostname-or-ip/zm". What the heck does that mean? I put in my host name and nothing.I have tried reading the docs. I entered all the commands and it just throws errors at me and I have no idea what they mean. I am pretty conversant with Mint mate and I and can use the command line. Can someone please point me to a page that will take me by the hand and lead me through the process?

http://hostname-or-ip/zm

You most likely won't have a hostname. Your installation will have an IP.

So what that means is you enter an address that looks similar to tis:

http://192.168.1.123/zm

The specific number for your installation depends on your router.
You can search for something like "whats my ip" to find how get the number.

Thank you gentleman for the help. When my world calms down I'll pick through and try your answers.
