[Freeswitch-users] APT Utility

[David V. Fansler]

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.  I will keep scratching away at it.

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

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

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
