How to Install Kerberos.io on Ubuntu Server Latest

Kerberos.io is an open-source video surveillance software that uses artificial intelligence to detect and alert you of any suspicious activity. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Kerberos.io on Ubuntu Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you start with the installation, make sure your Ubuntu Server has the following:

• Access to the internet
• User account with sudo privileges
• Basic knowledge of the command-line interface
• Port 80 and 443 open

Step 1: Update the System

To avoid any software conflicts, update and upgrade the Ubuntu system to the latest version by running the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Step 2: Install Apache and PHP

Kerberos.io requires Apache and PHP to work correctly. To install both packages, run the following command:

sudo apt install apache2 php libapache2-mod-php

Verify whether Apache is running by using the following command:

sudo systemctl status apache2.service

If Apache is running, you should get a status message like this:

apache2.service - The Apache HTTP Server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
