There are lot of different howto's around when you search for 'Oscam installation instructions'. To start this could not make things easy.

That's why i made this tutorial.

First we must make sure we can install repository's (PPA):
For Ubuntu 12.04

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

For Ubuntu 12.10 and up

@sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

Now we add the "Oscam" repository:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:oscam/ppa sudo apt-get update

Install oscam:
* oscam-svn (trunk version)
* oscam (latest stable version)

sudo apt-get install oscam

When the installation is done stop the oscam service:

sudo service oscam stop

Now we need to edit some files, so we need to know where this files are located:

dpkg -L oscam

Below are the three files we need to edit.

/etc/oscam/oscam.server /etc/oscam/oscam.user /etc/oscam/oscam.conf

First we make sure we backup those files before editing:

cd /etc/oscam sudo mv oscam.conf oscam.conf.bak sudo mv oscam.server oscam.server.bak sudo mv oscam.user oscam.user.bak

sudo nano oscam.conf

"oscam.conf" NOTE: Be sure you edit the lines 42, 43 and 45.

sudo nano oscam.server

"oscam.server"

sudo nano oscam.user

"oscam.user" NOTE: Be sure you add the right CAID on

oscam.server

line 9 and

oscam.user

line 6 and 7.

* Ziggo/Casema CAID 0602
* Ziggo/Multikabel CAID 0604
* Ziggo/@Home CAID 0604
Now start Oscam, and tail the log:

sudo service oscam start sudo tail -f /var/log/oscam/oscam.log

And be sure this lines are showed:
