Did you create Freeswitch service?


 cd /etc/systemd/system


nano freeswitch.service

Next, notify systemd to look for changes in its configuration:
systemctl daemon-reload
Now you are ready to start FreeSWITCH for the first time. Because FS is owned by user freeswitch it should create its databases and log files under that user (instead of root) so that those files will still be accessible to it under future runs.
systemctl start freeswitch
To stop FreeSWITCH:
systemctl stop freeswitch


To configure FreeSWITCH to start automatically at boot time:
systemctl enable freeswitch



To be able to launch fs_cli without having to go to bin directory, add directory to path:


export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/freeswitch/bin/

I have tried to install from https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Debian+10+Buster to install using debian packages.

Any suggestions, please?
