curl -sSL https://git.lohmar.co.uk/cclohmar/NextNVR/raw/branch/main/setup.sh | bash
```
That's it. The script installs everything and starts NextNVR automatically.
The script will ask where to store recordings. Press Enter for the default (`~/nvr_data`) or type your own path (e.g. `/mnt/recordings`).
**Want to pre-set the storage path without being asked?**
```bash
STORAGE_PATH=/mnt/recordings curl -sSL https://...setup.sh | bash
```
