We are also required to install asterisk init script make config The config files which the above command will generate can be found in /etc/asterisk directory Now that the asterisk is compiled and ready to be used, if required you can run the following command to generate the sample config files for asterisk. This process will take some time depending on your computer resources. Now we will compile and install Asterisk 18 on Centos 8 with the modules that we have selected. You can enable/disable the modules that you wish to compile alongside the core of asterisk in the above menu. Use the following command to open the asterisk configuration menu. We will now select the modules and packages that we want to compile with our base Asterisk installation. It comes bundled with the asterisk source and saves us the hassle to compile it from the source. We used the –with-jansson parameter so as to install Jansson library which is required for asterisk to work. This configure script will check our system for the dependencies of the different modules of the asterisk. Since we have already satisfied the dependencies required by Asterisk 18 for Centos 8 we will now run the configuration script using the following command. Switch to the extracted directory, here the version is 18.0.0, your might be different cd asterisk-18.0.0/ Step 3: Configuring Untar the tarball you just downloaded tar -xzf asterisk-18*

dnf install -y wget gcc gcc-c++ make bzip2 patch libedit-devel uuid-devel libuuid-devel libxml2-devel sqlite sqlite-devel nano openssl openssl-devel Now we will install the required packages. dnf config-manager -set-enabled PowerTools But before we proceed with the packages we are first required to enable PowerTools repository which hosts many development packages. We will now install the pre-requisite, the packages required for the compilation of Asterisk. Here is a brief overview of the steps we will be following in the tutorial.įirst, let us make sure that our packages and OS are up to date. For this tutorial, we will be using CentOS 8 as the host operating system. It includes all the latest bug fixes and features which have been added in the past year.
We will be installing the Asterisk 18.0.0 which is the latest release at the time of writing. You can find the sample config file here. The configuration for it is done in the stir_nf.
