Basic Installation

Warning: The installer will replace various files, so backup all your data.

Step 1: Install Raspbian on your RPi
Step 2: Attach camera to RPi and enable camera support (http://www.raspberrypi.org/camera)
Step 3: Update your RPi with the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo rpi-update

Step 4: Clone the code from github and run the installer with the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/silvanmelchior/RPi_Cam_Web_Interface.git
cd RPi_Cam_Web_Interface
chmod u+x RPi_Cam_Web_Interface_Installer.sh
./RPi_Cam_Web_Interface_Installer.sh install

The script by default will install in the normal web root (/var/www). It supports installing in a subfolder of /var/www. When run it will ask a question as to what folder to use. Either hit enter to use the default or enter just the subfolder name to be used (e.g. rcam will install in /var/www/rcam). You can also edit the script and put the subfolder name in directly.

Step 5: After the setup finishes, you have to restart your RPi. Now just open up any browser on any computer in your network and enter the IP of the RPi as URL.

When you want to update an existing install of the software to a later version first run the script with 'update' instead of 'install'. Then if differences are detected then you should run the script a second time using 'install'

./RPi_Cam_Web_Interface_Installer.sh update
# if needed
./RPi_Cam_Web_Interface_Installer.sh install
