[Freeswitch-users] APT Utility

[David V. Fansler]

Thanks for your answers Rob and Shelby.  I found more info on apt-get and
ran it against all the missing dependences noted.  I also ran through  the
sequence of commands Shelby suggested.  In the end, running dpkg
-checkbuilddeps I got the following in return

 

dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unnet builddependencies: debhelper (>=5)

 

then followed the instructions for Ubuntu to enable freeswitch

nano /etc/default/freeswitch

FREESWITCH_ENABLE="true"

 

And then tried 

invoke -rc.d freeswitch start

but nothing obvious happened.

 

I am only using Ubuntu since it came as a free DVD in the Linux Pro mag that
the article about Freeswitch was in.  Is there a better version of Linux to
use?
thanks

 

David

Hi David,

 

When using Apt, you would install packages with:

 

apt-get install <package name>

 

Or search for packages with

 

apt-cache search <search term>

 

 

If you're not root, you'll need to stick "sudo " in front of those command.
Honestly, you might want to find a better tutorial with explicit
command-by-command instructions.

 

Good luck!

Rob

Greetings - I am trying to startup a freeSwitch on a P4 running Ubuntu 9.04
"Jaunty".  I know very little about Linux.  I decided to try this after
reading the article in Linux Pro Magazine.  I have been following the
detailed instructions in the wiki for using Ubuntu Jaunty, however I have
run into an unknown - "Use your favorite APT utility to get the needed
packages".

I am good at following direct instructions - but this statement is too vague
for my minimal minimal - did I mention minimal - knowledge of Linux.

 

Could someone please give me detailed instructions on how to use APT utility
to get the needed packages - and what are the needed packages?

Thanks kindly,

 

David
