Before you can install Flexisip, you will need to have the following prerequisites:

The next step is to install Git on your system. Git is a version control system that allows you to manage and track changes to your code. You can download Git from the official website: https://git-scm.com/download/win.
Once the Git installer has finished downloading, run it and follow the instructions to install Git on your system.
The third step is to install Visual Studio. You can download Visual Studio Community from the official website: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/.
Once you have downloaded Visual Studio, run the installer and follow the instructions to install it on your system.
The next step is to download Flexisip. You can do this by cloning the Flexisip repository from GitHub. To do this, open a command prompt and navigate to the directory where you want to download Flexisip. Then run the following command:
git clone https://gitlab.linphone.org/BC/public/flexisip/server.git
This will download the Flexisip repository to your local system.
The final step is to build and install Flexisip. To do this, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the Flexisip repository using the command prompt. Then run the following commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
cmake --build .
cmake --install .
This will build and install Flexisip on your system. Once the build and installation process is complete, you can run Flexisip by opening a command prompt, navigating to the Flexisip directory, and running the following command:
flexisip -c /path/to/config/file.xml
This will start the Flexisip server and load the configuration file you specified.
Flexisip is a powerful SIP server that can be installed on Windows 11 with relative ease. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you should be able to successfully install and run Flexisip on your system.
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!
