That is exactly the command on using. However it says that it cannot find
motion. There are many things available in Fedora that are not in the default
repo. I'd have to add a new set of repo's to get them. I wonder does dervish
and have something like? and that is why it's not finding motion?

You stated previously "devian" so we all assumed you meant that you are
actually"debian". If you are using any other Linux variant such as
Fedora, you can compile the source code available from
http://github.com/Motion-Project/motion , or perhaps "yum install motion".
What is "dervish", one wonders. Computers are very literal interpreters
of commands.
