ASTPP is an open-source VoIP billing management and invoicing solution. It helps VoIP service providers manage their billing and customer relationships efficiently. ASTPP is written in Python and uses the Plivo API to connect with various VoIP service providers. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the installation of ASTPP on Windows 10.
To install ASTPP on Windows 10, you need the following:
You can download Git from the git-scm website. Once you have downloaded Git, follow the installation instructions provided.
Open the command prompt or Git Bash and type the following command to clone the ASTPP repository:
git clone https://github.com/astpp/astpp.git
This command will download the ASTPP source code from the GitHub repository.
To install Python, go to the Python website and download the latest version for Windows. Once the download is complete, run the installer and follow the instructions provided.
To install pip on Windows, you can follow the instructions provided in the pip-user guide.
ASTPP requires several Python packages to run. To install these packages, navigate to the ASTPP directory in the command prompt or Git Bash and run the following command:

To install MySQL on Windows 10, follow the instructions provided in the MySQL documentation.
Open a command prompt and log in to the MySQL using the following command:

Once you are logged in, create a new database using the following command:
CREATE DATABASE astpp;
ASTPP uses a configuration file to store its settings. To create a new configuration file, copy the example configuration file:
cp astpp.cfg.example astpp.cfg
Open the astpp.cfg file in a text editor and update the database_uri setting with your MySQL connection details:
database_uri = mysql+pymysql://<user>:<password>@<host>/<database>
Replace <user> with your MySQL username, <password> with your MySQL password, <host> with the MySQL server hostname or IP address, and <database> with the name of the database you created in step 6.
To initialize the ASTPP database, run the following command in the command prompt or Git Bash:
python manage.py db upgrade
This command will create the necessary database tables.
To start ASTPP, run the following command:
