FreeSWITCH is a free and open-source communication application that allows users to receive, make, and transfer calls, video conferencing, and much more. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install FreeSWITCH on Manjaro.
Before getting started, you need:
First, we need to install the required dependencies for FreeSWITCH. Open your terminal and run:
sudo pacman -S git autoconf automake libtool \
curl wget gcc make bison flex \
libncurses-dev zlib1g-dev libjpeg-dev \
libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev \

Next, we need to download the latest version of FreeSWITCH. Navigate to the FreeSWITCH website https://freeswitch.org/ and click the "Download" button.
On the download page, select the "tarball" option and copy the download link.
Open your terminal and run the following command:
cd ~
wget <paste the download link>
Extract the downloaded FreeSWITCH tarball by running:
tar xvfz freeswitch.tar.gz
Navigate into the extracted FreeSWITCH directory:
cd freeswitch
Then, configure FreeSWITCH with the following command:

Wait for the configuration process to complete.
Now run:

This command will compile FreeSWITCH. Wait until the compilation process is completed.
Finally, install FreeSWITCH:
sudo make install

In case you want to stop FreeSWITCH, use:
sudo killall -9 freeswitch
Congratulations! You have successfully installed FreeSWITCH on Manjaro. You can start using FreeSWITCH to receive, make, and transfer calls, do video conferencing, or configure it to do much more.
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!
