I unzipped the files to a Linux PC. But how do I install it? There isnt a Install exe or setup exe…

What am I missing?

You are missing some readings I guess…[voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+ … ation+tips](http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+installation+tips) could be a good starting point.

However go in the the asterisk directory created when you “untarred” the Asterisk tar file, then as normal user do:  
./configure  
make menuselect  
make

as root do:  
make install

Bye.
