This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install FreeSWITCH on Kali Linux. FreeSWITCH is a powerful open-source communication platform that provides features for voice, video, and messaging applications.
Let's start by updating our Kali Linux system to the latest version:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
FreeSWITCH depends on several libraries and packages. We need to install them first:
sudo apt-get install -y autoconf automake devscripts gawk git-core libjpeg-dev libncurses5-dev libtool make python-dev pkg-config zlib1g-dev libtiff5-dev libperl-dev libgdbm-dev libdb-dev libssl-dev libpcre3-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libexpat1-dev libncursesw5-dev libffi-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libopus-dev libsndfile1-dev
We can download the latest version of FreeSWITCH from their official website or Git repository. For this tutorial, we will download the latest stable release from the official website:
wget https://files.freeswitch.org/freeswitch-releases/freeswitch-1.10.4.tar.gz
Now that we have downloaded FreeSWITCH, let's extract it and move to the directory:
tar -zxvf freeswitch-1.10.4.tar.gz
cd freeswitch-1.10.4
Next, let's configure, make, and install FreeSWITCH:
./configure -C
make
make install
This can take some time, depending on your machine's resources.
We can start FreeSWITCH by running the following command:
/usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch
To stop FreeSWITCH, press Ctrl+C.
In this tutorial, we have installed FreeSWITCH on Kali Linux, which is a powerful communication platform. With FreeSWITCH, you can build voice, video, and messaging applications. You can explore FreeSWITCH further by visiting their official website or checking out their Git repository.
