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 David V. Fansler s/v Annabelle dfansler@dv-fansler.com www.dv-fansler.com
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 On Nov 18, 2009, at 3:49 PM, David V. Fansler wrote:

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 David V.

Ubuntu has pretty good package management with apt-get and should work well for a beginner. The recommended OS (though FreeSWITCH runs on a wide variety of platforms) is 64-bit CentOS. You can get it here: http://www.centos.org/ if you'd like, but at this point I think it's fine to just keep digging into whichever flavor of linux you have handy. If you have FreeSWITCH compiled and installed, have you tried just starting it from the command line? cd /usr/local/freeswitch ; ./bin/ freeswitch On Nov 19, 2009, at 8:18 PM, David V. Fansler wrote:

Thanks Rob - I guess that it is not installed yet - I get a directory not found trying your suggestion. Taking a look at the freeswitch directory, there is no bin directory.

Hi David, Apt was just for getting your dependencies in order. Now you can go about the business of compiling and installing Freeswitch. You might start with 1.0.4 so you don't have to mess with svn yet. http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Installation_Guide#FreeSWITCH_1.0.4_.22Phoen... Just keep reading through the wiki or google for tutorials. Good luck! Rob On Nov 20, 2009, at 5:02 AM, David V. Fansler wrote:

Actually, if you want to avoid SVN then get the latest 1.0.5 pre-release version. It will be more stable than 1.0.4. -MC
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.
