Installation Question 2

Hi There

How would I install Asterisk on a Linux VPS? I’m new to Asterisk and don’t have that much knowledge of SSH Access to my server.

Any help would be much appreciated

Many thanks

Mark

Is this VPS a hosted server?
Do you have root access to that server? if not, you wont be able to install asterisk.

Many thanks

If you have access to the CD, then burn the asteriskNow or Trixbox CE to a CD, and install from there.

Log in as root and you should be able to just use a series of apt-get or yum commands depending on what version of Linux your VPS is running.

My server is remote and I’m running debian. Any ideas on what I need to do? I’m not familiar with commands though

…you don’t have any experience with the command line?

No I don’t have any experience of the command line

Many thanks

I’m not going to give you a step-by-step guide on how to install Asterisk on a Debian system. Perhaps you can use Google to find such instructions. I will tell you that the installation is fairly command-line heavy, so you might want to familiarize yourself with it before you attempt a moderately complex installation such as Asterisk.
