Go to the Shinobi directory. Below is an example.

cd /home/Shinobi

Copy the config file.

cp plugins/motion/conf.sample.json plugins/motion/conf.json

Edit it the new file. Host should be localhost and port should match the listening port for camera.js.

nano plugins/motion/conf.json

Start the plugin.

node plugins/motion/shinobi-motion.js

Or to daemonize with PM2.

pm2 start plugins/motion/shinobi-motion.js

Doing this will reveal options in the monitor configuration. Shinobi does not need to be restarted when a plugin is initiated or stopped.
