To install Asterisk, the team had to download the software from http://www.asterisk.org/downloads and downloaded the Asterisk 1.4 version. Once downloaded,the file will be saved as a .tar.gz file on the desktop. The method for extracting Asterisk zipped folder is the same for X-Lite.
The commands used in the terminal to run Asterisk are as followed:
• cd Desktop ; change directories to Desktop. This is where the asterisk-1.4.26.2 folder is located
• cd asterisk-1.4.26.2
• make install ; if there is error that discuss about compatibility, simply use this command to resolve this issue: rm –rf /usr/lib/asterisk/modules
• make samples
• asterisk –rv ; this command will run Asterisk
In the link below is the screen shots of how the team downloaded and installed Asterisk.
