(link to:) installation guide
• $ sudo apt update
  $ sudo apt upgrade
• $ sudo apt install apache2 mysql-server
  On my system mysql-server was already installed, so I just needed to install apache2
• edit the list of apt sources and add ZoneMinder’s repository:
  $ sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
  Add the following to the bottom of the file:
  # ZoneMinder repository
  deb (link to:) ZoneMinder

  CTRL+o and to save, then CTRL+x to exit nano editor

Note: The .list file was empty before I added the specified lines...
• Because ZoneMinder’s package repository provides a secure connection through HTTPS,
  apt must be enabled for HTTPS:
  $ sudo apt install apt-transport-https
• Finally, download the GPG key for ZoneMinder’s repository:
  $ wget -O - https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/archive-keyring.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
• Install ZoneMinder:
  $ sudo apt update
  $ sudo apt install zoneminder
However:This failed with this error message:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
zoneminder : Depends: libjpeg62-turbo (>= 1.3.1) but it is not installable
Depends: libx264-148 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

So... stalled at the moment...

• Proceed with Step 6 of Installation Guide...
