Asterisk Installation Script for Debian 4

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hi Asterisk Friends

I wrote a little Asterisk 1.2 installation script which automatically installs:

All Dependencies

Asterisk-1.2.24

Asterisk-Addons-1.2.7

Zaptel-1.2.20

LibPRI-1.2.5

FreePBX-2.3.0

SpanDSP for FAX Support

on a Debian OS. Its a very basic script, but saves a hell of time during installations.

You will get a perfect PBX system without the need of using Trixbox etc. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
This script is not changing or adding any proprietary software. It’s just a simple installation routine… smile.

Why i use Asterisk 1.2

  • most stable Asterisk so far
  • FreePBX is not running well on Asterisk 1.4 yet
  • Asterisk GUI (Asterisk Now) still in Beta…

Download:
You can download the installation script from here

How to use the script?

Install a basic Debian OS 4 Netinstall systemthen copy and execute the asterisk installation script. (make sure you have internet connection).

The install script needs executing rights (chmod +x asteriskinstall)

./asteriskinstall

Done!

Stay tuned, i’m working on a automated installation for a Asterisk cluster.

Cheers
Daniel

Just copy the content into a file (any name).
copy this file onto your debian machine

anywhere except /usr/src

set execution rights like:

chmod +x youfilename

execute script:

./yourfilename

It can take a while to download everything… just hang in there and dont stop the script.

you can reach me via daniel@intuitinnovations.com

best regards
Daniel

The whole point is to run the OS in CLI mode.

yo can copy the link and then do a wget from the debian system.

like:

“wget danielaliaman.com/blog/files/asteriskinstall”

that should work.

i did the script step by step
this are some lines i got:

debian2:~# ./asteriskinstall
Install Depenencies

Building dependency tree… Done
E: Couldn’t find package build-essential

So there is a problem in these 3 error lines
all the other lines were ok
what can be the problem?

Thanks a lot!
