Kazoo is an open-source, scalable communications platform that can be used for voice, video, and messaging services. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Kazoo on FreeBSD.
Before we start with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install the required dependencies that Kazoo needs to function correctly on FreeBSD. Run the following command to update the package index:
sudo pkg update
Next, install Erlang using the following command:
sudo pkg install erlang
Once the Erlang installation is complete, install git with the following command:
sudo pkg install git
After installing the prerequisites, clone the Kazoo repository using the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/2600hz/kazoo.git
The command will clone the repository into a directory called "kazoo".
Now that we have cloned the Kazoo repository, we can install it by running the following commands:
cd kazoo - move into the cloned repository directory.sudo make setup - execute the Kazoo setup.Once the setup process completes, start the Kazoo services using the following command:
sudo make run
Now that we've installed Kazoo on FreeBSD, we can verify that it's working correctly by accessing the Kazoo UI.

You will be prompted with a login screen. Enter the default Kazoo credentials, which are:
If everything is working as expected, you should see the Kazoo dashboard.
Kazoo is now installed on your FreeBSD system, and you can start exploring the platform's capabilities. We hope that this tutorial has helped you install Kazoo, and you can now leverage its features for your communications needs.
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!
