I have a couple of questions. First one is I have developed a graphical
interface for configuring motion. I would like to put up a link if it's
allowable for people to download and use this.
Second question I'm attempting to install motion on devian to test my software.
The apt-get does not find motion anywhere. What am I doing wrong

You can post it here if you'd like or we can add it the wiki page (the
wiki doesn't get much traffic that I've seen but it is available)
https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion/wiki/Related-Projects
Something must be wrong with your apt setup if it is not installing
Motion.? The following is the command.
sudo apt-get install motion
And this is a video showing how to do it.
