FreeSWITCH is an open-source communication platform that is widely used for developing real-time communication systems, such as audio/video calls, chat applications, and more. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing FreeSWITCH on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before we start installing FreeSWITCH on EndeavourOS Latest, you will need:
The first step is to install the dependencies that are required for the FreeSWITCH installation. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S autoconf automake cmake gcc zlib libjpeg libtool
Next, we need to install some additional packages that are required for FreeSWITCH on EndeavourOS Latest. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S speexdsp opus gnutls libsndfile libvorbis libopusfile
Now, we will download and extract the FreeSWITCH source code. Open the terminal and run the following command:
cd /usr/src
sudo wget https://files.freeswitch.org/downloads/freeswitch/freeswitch-1.10.6.tar.gz
sudo tar -xzf freeswitch-1.10.6.tar.gz
Next, we need to configure and compile FreeSWITCH. Run the following commands in the terminal:
cd freeswitch-1.10.6
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
After executing these commands, the FreeSWITCH installation process will start, which may take a few minutes.
Finally, we need to configure FreeSWITCH. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo cp /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/freeswitch.xml /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/freeswitch.xml.bak
sudo cp /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/autoload_configs/{directory,http_cache,dialplan_directory}.xml /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/autoload_configs/
This command will create backups of the existing FreeSWITCH configuration files and copy new ones with default settings.
Now that we have installed and configured FreeSWITCH, we can start it by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo /usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch
You should now see the FreeSWITCH welcome message in the terminal.
That's it! You have successfully installed FreeSWITCH on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now start building real-time communication systems using FreeSWITCH. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, you can consult the documentation available on the FreeSWITCH website.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
