Install On Fedora - mdPlusPlus/motioneye GitHub Wiki

Before Proceeding

Read the general Installation page first.
These instructions apply to relatively recent Fedora distributions. Depending on the release, you'll need to replace dnf with the older yum command.
All commands require root; use sudo before each command or become root using sudo -i.

Instructions

Make sure you have rpmfusion added to your system (required for both ffmpeg and motion):

 dnf install --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

Install motion, ffmpeg and v4l-utils:
```
 dnf install motion ffmpeg v4l-utils
```
Install the dependencies from the repositories:
```
 yum install python-pip python-devel gcc libcurl-devel pango-devel
```
note: Python 2.7 is required. If your system still runs Python 2.6 or older, please upgrade.
Install motioneye, which will automatically pull Python dependencies (tornado, jinja2, pillow and pycurl):
```
 pip install motioneye
```

Prepare the configuration directory:

 mkdir -p /etc/motioneye
 cp /usr/share/motioneye/extra/motioneye.conf.sample /etc/motioneye/motioneye.conf

Prepare the media directory:
```
 mkdir -p /var/lib/motioneye
```

Add an init script, configure it to run at startup and start the motionEye server:

     cp /usr/share/motioneye/extra/motioneye.systemd-unit /etc/systemd/system/motioneye.service
     systemctl daemon-reload
     systemctl enable motioneye
     systemctl start motioneye

To upgrade to the newest version of motionEye, just issue:

 pip install motioneye --upgrade
 systemctl restart motioneye
