Install

These instructions are a work in progress!

I have developed this on ArchLinux. I'll be writing instructions as if you are using ArchLinux and you'll have to translate it to your distribution.

Required packages

sudo pacman -S extra/php-apc
sudo pacman -S core/curl
sudo pacman -S bc
sudo pacman -S imagemagick

PHP.ini

There are some extensions needed.

extension="apc.so"
extension="sysvsem.so"

Permission

echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="vchiq",GROUP="video",MODE="0660"' > /etc/udev/rules.d/10-vchiq-permissions.rules
usermod -a -G video [your_username]    
chmod a+rw web/api/motion.json
chmod a+rwx script/monitor.sh
echo "" > web/api/monitor.log
chmod a+rw web/api/monitor.log
