## Installing Dependencies
|
|
Before installing Asterisk, you need to update your package lists and install the necessary dependencies. Open your terminal and execute the following commands:
|
|
|
|
`sudo apt update`
|
|
`sudo apt upgrade`
|
|
`sudo apt install -y wget build-essential subversion`
|
|
|
|
## Downloading and Installing Asterisk
|
|
With the dependencies in place, you can now download and compile Asterisk:
|
|
|
|
`cd /usr/src`
|
|
`sudo wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/asterisk-18-current.tar.gz`
|
|
`sudo tar xvf asterisk-18-current.tar.gz`
|
|
|
|
Change into the extracted directory and install additional required packages:
|
|
|
|
`cd asterisk-18*`
|
|
`sudo contrib/scripts/install_prereq install`
|
|
|
|
Now, proceed to compile and install Asterisk:
|
|
|
|
`sudo ./configure`
|
|
`sudo make menuselect`
|
|
`sudo make`
|
|
`sudo make install`
|
|
`sudo make samples`
|
|
`sudo make config`
|
|
`sudo ldconfig`
|
|
|
|
With Asterisk installed, you can now set up its user and group permissions:
|
|
|
|
`sudo adduser --system --group --no-create-home asterisk`
|
|
`sudo chown -R asterisk:asterisk /etc/asterisk`
|
|
`sudo chown -R asterisk:asterisk /var/{lib,log,spool}/asterisk`
|
|
`sudo chown -R asterisk:asterisk /usr/lib/asterisk`
|
|
|
|
## Configuring Asterisk
|
|
Editing the main configuration file is the next step. Open it using your favorite text editor:
|
|
|
|
`sudo nano /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf`
|
|
|
|
Make the necessary changes according to your setup, then start and enable Asterisk at boot:
|
|
|
|
`sudo systemctl start asterisk`
|
|
`sudo systemctl enable asterisk`
|
|
|
|
Ensure that Asterisk is running without issues:
|
|
|
|
`sudo asterisk -vvvr`
|
|
|
|
## Setting Up SIP Accounts
|
|
To handle VoIP calls, you need to set up SIP accounts. Edit the sip.conf and extensions.conf files:
|
|
|
|
`sudo nano /etc/asterisk/sip.conf`
|
|
`sudo nano /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf`
|
|
|
|
Add your SIP users in sip.conf and dial plan in extensions.conf.
