Install on Raspbian Stretch 9.1 fails

[pdfruth]

Trying to install pikrellcam on a Raspberry Pi running the latest version of Raspbian (Stretch 9.1). The install-pikrellcam.sh script tries to install php5 (among other pre-requisites) which has been obsoleted and removed from the Stretch repositories (see https://wiki.debian.org/PHP#PHP_and_Debian). Running install-pikrellcam.sh results in the following output messages; --------- snip --------

Install finished.
This install script does not automatically start pikrellcam.
To start pikrellcam, open a browser page to:
    http://your_pi
and click on the "System" panel and then the "Start PiKrellCam" button.
PiKrellCam can also be run from a Pi terminal for testing purposes.

--------- snip --------

Stretch repositories do include PHP7.0 Is pikrellcam compatible with PHP7.0? Can the installer script be updated to detect Raspbian Stretch 9+ and install prerequisite packages 'php7.0 php7.0-common php7.0-fpm' instead of 'php5 php5-common php5-fpm'?

Hi All,

This has been solved with a new release. Just redo the clone and that's it ! My installation went nicely with hph7 Congrats to Pikrellcam team : this program is so powerfull and you are so reactive ! Rgds
