In this tutorial, you will learn how to install ShinobiCE, an open-source video surveillance system, on your Linux Mint operating system.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:
Follow the steps given below to install ShinobiCE on Linux Mint:
First, ensure that you have all the required packages and dependencies installed on your Linux Mint system. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install git curl ffmpeg libssl-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libmysqlclient-dev libpq-dev libjpeg-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libarchive-dev cmake sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev pkg-config autotools-dev automake
This command will update the package list and then install all the required packages and dependencies that are needed to set up ShinobiCE.
Next, you need to download the ShinobiCE repository from its official Gitlab page. To do this, run the following command in the terminal window:
git clone https://gitlab.com/Shinobi-Systems/ShinobiCE.git
This command will clone the repository to your local system.
After downloading the repository, navigate to the ShinobiCE directory by running this command:
cd ShinobiCE
Next, run the following command to build and install ShinobiCE:
./shinobi.sh install
This command will start the installation process, which may take several minutes depending on your system's specifications.
After the installation process is complete, navigate to the following directory:
cd /home/Shinobi
In this directory, you will find the config.json file. Open this file using a text editor of your choice and configure the settings as desired. Be sure to save the changes before closing the file.
Next, start the ShinobiCE server by running the following command:
pm2 start camera.js
This command will start the ShinobiCE server, and you should see the output on the terminal window.
To access the ShinobiCE web interface, open a web browser and enter the following address:
http://localhost:8080
Enter your login credentials, and you should be able to access the ShinobiCE dashboard.
That's it - you have successfully installed ShinobiCE on your Linux Mint latest system. You can now use it to manage your video surveillance needs.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
