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.

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
