Before you begin the install process you will want to be sure that your server OS is up to date. When the update completes the server will reboot.
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && reboot
Next you will want to resolve basic dependencies. (More information on Asterisk dependencies.)
apt-get install build-essential wget libssl-dev libncurses5-dev libnewt-dev libxml2-dev linux-headers-$(uname -r) libsqlite3-dev uuid-dev
Download the source tarballs. These commands will get the current version of DAHDI, libpri and Asterisk.
cd /usr/src/ wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/dahdi-linux-complete/dahdi-linux-complete-current.tar.gz wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/libpri/libpri-1.4-current.tar.gz wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/asterisk-11-current.tar.gz
Extract the files from the tarballs
tar zxvf dahdi-linux-complete*
tar zxvf libpri*
tar zxvf asterisk*
Install DAHDI
cd /usr/src/dahdi-linux-complete* make && make install && make config
Install libpri
NOTE: libpri 1.4.13 won’t compile on Ubuntu 12.04 due to a bug (https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/PRI-145). See the video for how to apply a patch to fix the bug. (Edit: libpri 1.4.14 has been released with this bug fix included. If you are a using 1.4.14 or later you should not encounter this bug.)
cd /usr/src/libpri* make && make install
Install Asterisk. Select your options when the menuselect command runs. Then select “Save & Exit” and the install will continue.
cd /usr/src/asterisk* ./configure && make menuselect && make && make install && make config && make samples
Start DAHDI
Start Asterisk and connect to the CLI
/etc/init.d/asterisk start asterisk -rvvv
Verify your installation by checking for the DAHDI and libpri versions on the Asterisk CLI
*CLI> dahdi show version DAHDI Version: 2.6.1 Echo Canceller: HWEC *CLI> pri show version libpri version: 1.4.13
/etc/init.d/dahdi start
Congratulations! You now have Asterisk 11 running on Ubuntu 12.04. To continue configuring Asterisk check out the quick start guide or take a look at the official Digium online training.
