How to Install Kamailio on EndeavourOS Latest

Kamailio is an open-source SIP server designed to handle thousands of calls per second. It can be used for a range of different applications, such as VoIP gateways, IP-PBXs, or Class 4/5 SIP switch engines. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Kamailio on EndeavourOS latest version.

Prerequisites

• A Linux-based operating system, such as EndeavourOS latest version.
• Access to a terminal window/command-line interface (CLI).
• Basic knowledge of Linux commands and the sudo command.

Step 1: Install Kamailio on EndeavourOS

1. To install Kamailio on EndeavourOS, we first need to add the Kamailio package repository to our system. We can do this using the following command:

   ```
   sudo curl -s https://pkg.kamailio.org/kamailio51-snapshots.asc | sudo apt-key add -
   ```
   

2. Next, we need to add the Kamailio package repository to /etc/apt/sources.list file using the following command:

   ```
   sudo apt-add-repository "deb https://deb.kamailio.org/kamailio51 $(lsb_release -sc) main"
   ```
   

3. Once we have added the Kamailio package repository to our system, we need to update our system using the following command:

   ```
   sudo apt-get update
   ```
   

4. After the update is complete, we can then install Kamailio using the following command:

   ```
   sudo apt-get install kamailio
   ```
   

5. Once the installation is complete, we will have Kamailio installed on EndeavourOS.
