In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Routr on Manjaro using terminal commands.
Routr is an open-source SIP server which enables realtime communication for VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and UC (Unified Communications).
The first step is to update packages of the Manjaro system using the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Enter your password when prompted and wait for the update process to complete.
We need to install some required libraries before we can install Routr, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S pango libxcomposite libxcursor libxdamage libxi libxtst
Visit the Routr website and download the latest version of Routr, it could be a tarball, zip file, or any other compatible format for Manjaro. Save it in a location where you can easily access it later.
After downloading the package, extract it to the directory of your choice. If it is a .tar.gz or .tar.xz file use the following command in the terminal:
tar xvf <routr.tar.gz>
Change <routr.tar.gz> with the name of the downloaded package.
Once the package is extracted, navigate to the directory and run the installation script. Use the following command:
sudo bash install.sh
During the installation process, you will be asked to provide a username and password to access the Routr web interface.
After the installation process is completed, start Routr using the following command:
sudo systemctl start routr
To start Routr on startup, use the following command:
sudo systemctl enable routr
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Routr on Manjaro. You can now access the Routr web interface by opening your web browser and entering the IP address followed by the port number where Routr is running. For example, http://your-ip-address:8080. Enjoy your communication with Routr!
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!
