Changelog is available on the [__releases page__](https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye/releases).\n\nFrom version 0.43, **motionEye** is multilingual:\n\n| [![](https://hosted.weblate.org/widgets/motioneye-project/-/287x66-black.png)\u003cbr\u003e![](https://hosted.weblate.org/widgets/motioneye-project/-/multi-auto.svg)](https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/motioneye-project/) |\n| -: |\n\nYou can contribute to translations on [__Weblate__](https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/motioneye-project).\n\n# Installation\n\n1. Install **Python 3.7 or later** and build dependencies\n\n    _Here the commands for APT-based Linux distributions are given._\n\n    Thanks to pre-compiled wheels from PyPI, installing motionEye usually does not require anything but Python 3 and cURL with the ability to do HTTPS network requests:\n\n    ```sh\n    sudo apt update\n    sudo apt --no-install-recommends install ca-certificates curl python3\n    ```\n\n    On **ARMv6/ARMv7 (32-bit), RISC-V, and other rare CPU architectures** additional build dependencies may be required to compile the [Pillow](https://pypi.org/project/pillow/) and [PycURL](https://pypi.org/project/pycurl/) modules:\n\n    ```sh\n    sudo apt --no-install-recommends install python3-dev gcc libjpeg62-turbo-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev\n    ```\n\n2. Install the Python package manager `pip`\n\n    ```sh\n    curl -sSfO 'https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py'\n    sudo python3 get-pip.py\n    rm get-pip.py\n    ```\n\n    **On recent distro versions, like Debian 12/Bookworm, Ubuntu 23.04/Lunar, and later**, the `libpython3.*-stdlib` package ships a file `/usr/lib/python3.*/EXTERNALLY-MANAGED`, which prevents the installation of Python modules outside of `venv` environments.\n    motionEye however has a small number of dependencies with no strict version requirements and hence is very unlikely to break any Python package you might have installed via APT. To bypass this block, add `break-system-packages=true` to the `[global]` section of your `pip.conf`:\n\n    ```sh\n    grep -q '\\[global\\]' /etc/pip.conf 2\u003e /dev/null || printf '%b' '[global]\\n' | sudo tee -a /etc/pip.conf \u003e /dev/null\n    sudo sed -i '/^\\[global\\]/a\\break-system-packages=true' /etc/pip.conf\n    ```\n\n3. Install and setup **motionEye**\n\n    ```sh\n    sudo python3 -m pip install motioneye\n    sudo motioneye_init\n    ```\n\n    _NB: `motioneye_init` currently assumes either an APT- or RPM-based distribution with `systemd` as init system. For a manual setup, config and service files can be found here: \u003chttps://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye/tree/dev/motioneye/extra\u003e_\n\n4. Access the web interface\n\n    After having successfully followed the installation instructions, the motionEye server should be running on your system and listening on port **8765**. Fire up your favorite web browser and visit the following URL (replacing `[your_ip]` with... well, your system's IP address):\n\n    ```\n    http://[your_ip]:8765/\n    ```\n\n    Use usernamme _admin_ with empty password when prompted for credentials. For security, __please do set up a proper password for the admin user__, at least if you plan to make your motionEye installation accessible from the Internet.\n\n# Upgrade\n\nWhen upgrading motionEye, remember to restart the service. To rule out any mix of old in-memory backend code with new frontend assets, it is recommended to stop it prior to the upgrade, and start it back up afterwards:\n\n```sh\nsudo systemctl stop motioneye\nsudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade motioneye\nsudo systemctl start motioneye\n```\n\n# Pre-releases\n\nWe may push beta versions to PyPI to give upcoming releases some testing period. Those can be installed with `pip`'s `--pre` flag:\n\n```sh\nsudo systemctl stop motioneye\nsudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade --pre motioneye\nsudo systemctl start motioneye\n```\n\nIf you want to test a recent commit on our development branch:\n\n```sh\nsudo systemctl stop motioneye\nsudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade 'https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye/archive/dev.tar.gz'\nsudo systemctl start motioneye\n```\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["NVR or Management","Python","Software"],"sub_categories":["ONVIF","Video Surveillance"],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmotioneye-project%2Fmotioneye","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmotioneye-project%2Fmotioneye","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmotioneye-project%2Fmotioneye/lists"}
