<h3><a name="Install_Apt"></a> Installing with apt </h3>
<ul>
<p></p>
Motion is part of the Debian, Ubuntu and Raspbian repositories and can be installed with the apt tool. The
version included with apt will be the version that was available when the distribution version
was initially deployed and therefore may not represent the latest release.
<p></p>
To install via apt, open up a terminal window and type: <code><strong>sudo apt-get install motion</strong></code>
<p></p>
</ul>
<h3><a name="Install_Deb"></a> Installing with a release deb package </h3>
<ul>
Motion can also be installed from the release deb files which may provide a more recent version than what
is available via apt.
<p></p>
Determine the deb file name that is appropriate for the distribution and platform from
the <a href="https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion/releases">Releases</a> page
and open up a terminal window and type:
<p></p>
<ul>
<code><strong>wget https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion/releases/{deb package name} </strong></code>
</ul>
<p></p>
Next, install the retrieved deb package. Below is a sample method to install that
uses the gdebi tool. The author prefers this tool since it will automatically retrieve
any dependency packages and yet still can be run without graphical interface.
<p></p>
<ul>
<code><strong>sudo apt-get install gdebi-core</strong></code>
<p></p>
<code><strong>sudo gdebi {deb package name}</strong></code>
</ul>
<p></p>
</ul>
<h3><a name="Build_Deb"></a> Building a deb package </h3>
<ul>
Users can also build their own deb package from source. It is often preferable to build and install a
deb package rather than using the build from source options below since it is much easier to upgrade from
and un-install Motion. The script that builds the deb packages released can be used to do this. Open
a terminal window and type:
<code><strong>wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Motion-Project/motion-packaging/master/builddeb.sh </strong></code>
Since this is a script file, once it is downloaded open the file with a text viewer and review
the script to see what it does. Never ever run a script without reviewing what it does!.
<p></p>
Within the script, you will see that it takes a few parameters which are optional.
<code><strong> Username, EmailAddress, branch, install, arch</strong></code>
If the parameters are not provided, the script will create defaults.
<p></p>
The general flow of the script is as follows:
<ul>
<li>Validate input parameters and set defaults as needed.</li>
<li>Validate the required packages are installed and notify which ones are missing.</li>
<li>Create temporary directories in /tmp</li>
<li>Clone the Motion source code and packaging code to the temporary directories</li>
<li>Switch to the branch specified in the parameter (or master if not specified)</li>
<li>Build the debian package</li>
<li>Clean up temporary directories</li>
</ul>
Once you have reviewed the script and determined that it is OK to run, close out of the editor and then
run the command <code>chmod +x ./builddeb.sh</code> to make the script executable.
<p></p>
Run the script <code>./builddeb.sh myname myemail master n any</code>
<p></p>
The script will validate the dependencies and report any additional dependencies which must be installed or if
all the dependencies are installed, it will create a deb package. Note that this may take a bit of time on
slower computers.
<p></p>
Once the deb file is created, install it via the gdebi tool as described above.
<p></p>
</ul>

In order to build Motion from source many shared libraries must be installed.
The particular libraries needed will vary depending upon the features desired.
<p></p>
When you install software using pre-compiled binaries (Redhat type RPMs, Debian debs etc)
you normally only get what is needed to run the programs themselves. In order to compile programs
from source that use these libraries you also need to install the development packages.
These are normally called the same name as the package suffixed by -devel or -dev. These development
packages contain the header files (xxx.h) that Motion needs to build. If
you build a library from sources you already have these header files. It is recommended to simply
install the pre-compiled binary packages and their development brothers.
<p></p>
Open a terminal and run the following commands to install the packages.

<h3><a name="Configure_Script"></a> Configure Script</a> </h3>
<ul>
Motion uses a set tools called the "autotools" in order to generate the required scripts in order to
compile and install Motion. The next step after installing all of the required and desired libraries is to
have the autotools create a configure script. To do this open a terminal and change to the directory with
the source code and type
<p></p>
<code>autoreconf </code>
<p></p>
If the 'configure' file exists and contains a valid script, the tool will return immediately since no additional work
needs to be completed. If the script needs updating, then it will take a moment to return. Once it has been executed,
a file called 'configure' will exist in the directory. Note that if the command is run as
<p></p>
<code>autoreconf -f</code>
<p></p>
The -f parameter instructs it to force a new configure file to be created. This can be preferable in certain
situations so that the configure script gets updated with the correct version number.
Once the 'configure' file is created, we can execute it. What the script does is interrogate the system and look
for all the needed items in order to compile Motion. In this process it looks to determine which optional components
have been installed on the system and if found sets flags to indicate for them to be included. If a particular library
is required by Motion and is not found, the configure script will issue an error. The error means that the library was
not found because it was either not installed or that it was installed into a location that the script could not find.
With the Motion configure script, once it has ended it also lists out all of the optional components that were located.
Note that if you KNOW that a particular component is installed yet the configure script reports it as not installed, then
it may be necessary to use one or more of the configure options described below to tell the script where to find
the particular component.
<p></p>
To run the configure your current directory must be the motion directory. You type
<p></p>
<code>./configure</code>
<p></p>
You can add the parameter <code>./configure --help</code> to get help on the different switches.
<p></p>
When the configure script finishes you should validate that the options desired
were correctly identified by the configure. In particular, the ffmpeg option is occasionally not
found even if it is actually installed. Various users have indicated this to be a particular
problem with the PI. If using a PI and have this issue, you can use the following option
<p></p>
<code>./configure --with-ffmpeg=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf</code>
<p></p>
For a long term option, you can edit the file
<code>$HOME/.bashrc</code>
and within it place the following two lines at the end
<code>PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH</code>
<code>export PKG_CONFIG_PATH</code> This option will however only become
effective the next time you open the terminal shell.
<p></p>
<p></p>
The following options can be specified with the configure script to customize
how Motion is built.

This is where Motion both installs the default configuration file and also where it will later search for it. <br />
Motion searches for the configuration file "motion.conf" in the following order:
<br />
<UL> <br />1. Current directory from where Motion was invoked
<br />2. $HOME/.motion
<br />3. The motion subdirectory inside the sysconfig directory set by this switch. If not defined the default is /usr/local/etc/ <br />
</UL> <br /> Editor recommends leaving this at default. Be careful if you run "make install" again.
This will overwrite the motion-dist.conf file that you may have edited.

<br /> If you install ffmpeg from sources and use the default directories or
if ffmpeg is installed as a binary package (RPM or deb) you may not need to specify the directory prefix.
Configure should find the libraries automatically.
<br />If you installed ffmpeg from sources and specified a different --prefix when building f
fmpeg you must use the same value for the DIR ( --with-ffmpeg=DIR)
or export that location to be included in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
<br />The option of --with-ffmpeg is the default for Motion. If the required libraries are not located, the
configure script will stop at the ffmpeg section and report which libraries need to be installed.
Once the required libraries are installed, run the script again. As noted previously, make sure
to install the -dev versions.
<br />For more information on FFmpeg see the documentation for the FFmpeg project.

<h3><a name="Make"></a> Make </h3>
<ul>
Once the configure script has successfully finished and indicates all options desired, a 'makefile' is created.
The makefile builds the Motion program and links in all of the required libraries. To run the makefile on most
distributions, type: <code>make</code>
<p></p>
The makefile will go through each of the files and compile them. Depending upon the source code obtained, there may be
warnings or usually none.
<p></p>
If the notifications indicate undefined references, then it is most likely that
an additional library needs to be added in via the configure switches. Many of these additional missing libraries
issues may be related to the version of ffmpeg and how it was built or installed. The following is a sample of some
of the extra ffmpeg libraries that may need to be added to pkg-config <strong><code>.pc</code></strong> files that are
located in the ffmpeg /lib/pkgconfig directory.
<p></p>
<code>
-lavformat -lswscale -lavcodec -lavutil -lfdk-aac -lswresample -lm -lopus -lz -lva -lvpx -lx264 -lmp3lame -lbz2 -ldl -lvorbisenc -lvorbis -ltheoraenc -ltheoradec
</code>
<p></p>
<p></p>
Once the makefile has completed correctly, it will report 'build complete'.
<p></p>
If you have run <code>make</code> before, you should run a <code>make clean</code> before
running <code>make</code> again. This cleans out all the object files that were
generated the previous time you ran <code>make</code>. If you do not run <code>make clean</code> first
before you rebuild Motion you may not get the additional feature included.
For example: If you built Motion without ffmpeg support and then add it later and rebuild Motion
without running <code>make clean</code> first the ffmpeg feature does not get compiled into the Motion binary.
<p></p>
The first time you build Motion run <code>./configure</code>, <code>make</code>, <code>make install</code>.
If you need to build it again (to run with different configure options) run <code>./configure</code>,
<code>make clean</code>, <code>make</code>, <code>make install</code>.
<p></p>
</ul>
<h3><a name="Make_Install"></a> Make Install </h3>
<ul>
Type <code>make install</code> to install the files.
<p></p>
These commands create the required directories and copy the files into the following locations. (default directories):
<ul>
<li>/usr/local/bin</li>
<li>/usr/local/etc/motion</li>
<li>/usr/local/share/man/man1</li>
<li>/usr/local/share/doc/motion</li>
<li>/usr/local/share/locale</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
The contents of what gets copied into each directory is as follows:
(assuming the default PREFIX /usr/local was used when running configure. Otherwise adjust to the actual directory specified during the configure step.)
<ul>
<li> Executable binary "motion" to /usr/local/bin</li>
<li> Manual page "motion.1" to /usr/local/share/man/man1</li>
<li> Document files to /usr/local/share/doc/motion</li>
<li> Example configuration files "*.conf" to /usr/local/etc/motion</li>
<li> Translation files to /usr/local/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES</li>
</ul>
Note that any existing files are overwritten. The default configuration file motion-dist.conf is named like
this so that you do not get your working motion.conf file overwritten when you upgrade Motion.
<p></p>
</ul>
<h3><a name="Un_Install"></a> Un-install </h3>
<ul>
From the Motion base installation directory run <code>make uninstall</code>
<p></p>
And delete the base installation directory in /usr/local and any link pointing to it. If you have forgotten where
you installed it or someone else did it for you, simply search for the files and directories starting with Motion.
If the filenames and the directories match the names described in the "Make Install" section of this document, you
can safely delete them.
<p></p>
</ul>
<h3><a name="Additional_Make_Options"></a> Additional Make Options </h3>
<ul>
The make command can be run with several options.
<code>make</code>,
<code>make install</code> and
<code>make uninstall</code> has already been described above.
<p></p>
<dl>
<dt> <strong>make clean</strong> </dt>
<dd> deletes all the binary files (object files) and the motion binary generated by make. It also deletes temporary files and any jpg files that motion has saved in the motion source directory. It is very important to always run <code>make clean</code> before you run <code>make</code> if you change the configuration (like adding features such as ffmpeg) and rebuild motion.</dd>
</dl>
<p></p>
<dl>
<dt> <strong>make distclean</strong> </dt>
<dd> deletes the files: config.status, config.log, config.cache, Makefile, and motion.spec.</dd>
</dl>
<p></p>
<dl>
<dt> <strong>make cleanall</strong> </dt>
<dd> Removes files created by autoreconf and runs a make clean. Resets to only files provided from source</dd>
</dl>
<p></p>
<dl>
<dt> <strong>maintainer-check</strong> </dt>
<dd> Executes multiple configure and make using the developer flags for various combinations of the configure flags</dd>
</dl>
<p></p>
<p></p>
</ul>
<h3><a name="Upgrading_From_Older_Version"></a> Upgrading From Older Version </h3>
<ul>
If you are upgrading from an older version of Motion many options have been renamed, added or removed.
The author recommends that you start by copying the configuration files from the older version to a safe
location for reference only. Then start with a clean copy of the new motion-dist.conf installed and make changes to it.
<p></p>
<p></p>
</ul>
<h3><a name="Translations"></a> Native Language Support(Translations)</h3>
<ul>
Motion now supports limited translations of message printed to the log or displayed on the web control
page using the <code>gettext</code> application.
<p></p>
Translations should appear automatically based upon the LANG environment variable set on the
machine running Motion. To see the LANG code for your machine, open a terminal and type
<code>locale</code>. If the log and web control still display in English, then this means
that translations have not been completed for that language. The Motion developers rely on
the community to provide these translations to the project. Even those that do not how to
program can assist in this process by editing the files in the po directory.
