[Freeswitch-users] APT Utility

[Shelby Ramsey]

David,

apt is the pack management system for the debian line of distros 
(including Ubuntu). Google apt-get or aptitude for more information on 
the utility.

This probably isn't the best list for topics not related to FS (apt is a 
linux utility) ... but here is a brief rundown:

apt-get install make flex patch gcc g++ autoconf automake libtool 
libncurses5-dev ncurses-dev python-MySQLdb subversion -y
cd /usr/src
## DO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING TO GET THE SRC (TRUNK IS BEST FOR NOW -- NO 
STABLE RELEASE)##
svn checkout http://svn.freeswitch.org/svn/freeswitch/trunk freeswitch.trunk
or
svn checkout http://svn.freeswitch.org/svn/freeswitch/trunk freeswitch
cd freeswitch/
./bootstrap.sh
./configure
make
make install

Type that as you see it on the command line (do sudo -i and type in the 
root password first).

I will say that FS requires some basic knowledge of Linux to get running 
... and certainly to manage / maintain. Try digging around for some 
Ubuntu how to's for some basic info.

Hope this helps.
