On the default Debian repository the Zoneminder package available is the version 1.26, however the last version is 1.29 (with a functionality I need).

Following the advise on Zoneminder 1.29 I added the repository (*)

deb http://http.debian.net/debian jessie-backports main

then I confirmed that the last version is available:

$ apt-cache policy zoneminder
zoneminder:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1.26.5-3.1+rpi1+b12
  Version table:
     1.29.0+dfsg-1~bpo8+1 0
        100 http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie-backports/main armhf Packages
     1.26.5-3.1+rpi1+b12 0
        500 http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie/main armhf Packages

however, the 'Candidate' is version '1.26.5'. I can force the new version installation with

apt-get install zoneminder=1.29.0*

but doing so, Zoneminder fail to start.

How does app-get determine the Candidate, I this case, not the last version?

I install Zoneminder 1.32.3 on Raspberry Pi 3B+ with Debian 10 "Buster" version.

  1. download on page Raspbian Buster with desktop and recommended software use Etcher to flash SD card

  2. use this link https://forums.zoneminder.com/viewtopic.php?t=28389 to install zoneminder 1.32.3

    use root :

    sudo su

  3. when zoneminder is installed, test zmaudit perl script :

    $ zmaudit.pl

    and if an error appears, use : 

    $ cpan install Number::Bytes::Human

  4. test http://localhost/zm/api/host/getVersion.json, if you not see :

    {     "version": "1.32.3",
     "apiversion": "1.0" }

    edit /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zoneminder.conf :

    $ nano /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zoneminder.conf

    comment :

    <Directory "/usr/share/zoneminder/www/api">
        AllowOverride All
</Directory>

    add :

    <Directory "/usr/share/zoneminder/www/api">
    RewriteEngine on
        RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L]
        RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
        RewriteBase /zm/api
</Directory>

<Directory "/usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app">
       RewriteEngine on
       RewriteRule ^$ webroot/ [L]
       RewriteRule (.*) webroot/$1 [L]
       RewriteBase /zm/api
    </Directory>

<Directory "/usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app/webroot">
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
        RewriteBase /zm/api
</Directory>

    save and reload apache conf

    $ systemctl reload apache2

  5. If problem with mariadb database not started : check path pid-file and socket paths between /etc/zm/zm.conf and files paths :

    $ ls /var/mysql or ls /var/run/mysql

$ nano /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf

    (need to add /run/ on my config)

    pid-file                = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
socket                  = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

  6. reboot system

test http://localhost/zm, see log zoneminder, log apache

have fun !

I have installed zoneminder 1.29 successfully on my raspberry pi 3. Please refer my following web site for more details how-to-install-zoneminder-1-29-0-on-raspberry-pi-3

Using the terminal

Add The Jessie backports

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Then add following line to the bottom of the file and save

deb http://http.debian.net/debian jessie-backports main

There are signature errors can be found

To fix those errors run following on the terminal

gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key 8B48AD6246925553 gpg -a --export 8B48AD6246925553 | sudo apt-key add - gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key 7638D0442B90D010 gpg -a --export 7638D0442B90D010 | sudo apt-key add -

Then run on the terminal

sudo apt-get update

Now if you check the software center you can see the latest zoneminder version 1.29 on it .

I did the same thing and found better instructions on the wiki. For some reason they don't list it on their main page. It had instructions to get the source GPG keys and there were some appendices that were missing.
