I don't want to be the bad boy telling unpleasant things, but if you are not able to use tar, or to follow the wiki, you better first get yourself acquainted and familiar with Linux, and only then try to install complex softwatre like whatever VOIP. If you do not have adequate background in Linux, you'll end up with lot of frustration, trash your time, and nothing will work. Maybe you wanna ask a friend that's familiar with Linux administration to be on your side for a while. -giovanni On Tue, Dec 18, 2012 at 12:24 PM, Steven Ayre <steveayre@gmail.com> wrote:

This is where you will compile FreeSWITCH, but not where it'll be installed. It will install to the standardised FHS paths (/usr/local/bin etc),
i try to tar it i get the following error for the command that i write
6. tar -xvfz freeswitch-1.2.5.3.tar.bz2
The correct command for a .tar.bz2 is: tar -jxvf freeswitch-1.2.5.3.tar.bz2
-j = .bz2, -z is for .gz. They're different compression algorithm. bzip2 generally gives better compression, but takes longer to compress. -x = extract -v = verbose (optional), will tell you each file extracted -f filename = what file to extract -f must appear just before the filename, in the one you were trying you had xvfz, the fz means it would've been looking for a tarball called 'z'
