In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Asterisk on OpenSUSE Latest. Asterisk is an open-source communications platform that can be used for a variety of purposes, including VoIP, call center, and PBX systems.
Before we start, make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
Before we install Asterisk, we need to install some dependencies. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo zypper install gcc gcc-c++ ncurses-devel libxml2-devel sqlite3-devel openssl-devel
This command will install the required dependencies for Asterisk to run on your system.
Now that we have all the required dependencies installed, we can proceed to download and install Asterisk. To download the latest version of Asterisk, visit the official website: https://www.asterisk.org/downloads/
Alternatively, you can use the following command to download Asterisk using wget:
wget https://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/asterisk-18-current.tar.gz
This will download the latest version of Asterisk to your home directory.
Once the download is complete, navigate to the directory where the Asterisk file is downloaded, and extract the file using the following command:
tar xvfz asterisk-18-current.tar.gz
This will create a new directory called asterisk-18.X.X (where X.X is the version number).
Now, navigate to the newly created directory using the following command:
cd asterisk-18.X.X
Once you are in the directory, run the following command to configure Asterisk:
./configure
This command will verify that all dependencies are installed and configure Asterisk for your system. Once the configuration is complete, run the following command to install Asterisk:
make && sudo make install
This command will build and install Asterisk on your system.
To verify that Asterisk is installed correctly, we will test it by running a sample configuration file using the following command:
sudo asterisk -cvvvvv
This will start Asterisk in console mode with verbose output. Now, run the following command to load a sample configuration file:
sip show peers
This command will show you a list of SIP peers. If the installation was successful, you should see a list of SIP peers in the output.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Asterisk on your OpenSUSE Latest environment. Now you can use it for your communication needs. If you encounter any issues or errors during the installation, make sure to check the logs and verify that all dependencies are installed correctly.
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!
