Same here. I love using motioneye for quiet some time now.
After a power failure my raspberry flash got corrupted, so I had to start from scratch.

Cost me all day to get things working again, since the installation procedure is not working on Raspbian stretch. Lots and lots of dependency errors. Especially step 2 of the ◦Install On Raspbian instruction.
Several packages do not exist anymore, or depend on other not existing packages.

This could scare of new users...

Ask the author of the Raspbian Instructions to update his instructions for stretch.

Thanks @wb666greene, just came across your post and helped me on a reinstallation after installing a new memory card in my pi.

Close???

I cannot create the configuration directory.
//cp /usr/local/share/motioneye/extra/motioneye.conf.sample /etc/motioneye/motioneye.conf
//cp: cannot stat '/usr/local/share/motioneye/extra/motioneye.conf.sample': No such file or directory.
However, installation took place perfectly with pip automaticlly pulling the Python dependancies.
Please help.

You might have installed motionEye on python3, or you might need to remove the local part of the path.
