1.2. General Installation
From the previous "Basic Information" tutorial, you should now have the source code for Asterisk. To continue with the general installation, we need to compile these sources to create the binaries.
Compiling Asterisk on most Linux distributions
Accomplish this by opening the folder in which the source codes were extracted (if you are using tarball files), or go to the /usr/src/asterisk folder (if using CVS server) to get the required packages.
To go to this directory, see example:
#cd /usr/src/asterisk
Once here, the final step is to compile:
Important: Follow this installation order: libpri, zaptel, asterisk

-Installing libpri
#cd /usr/src/asterisk/libpri
#make clean
#make
#make install
-Installing zaptel
#cd /usr/src/asterisk/zaptel
#make clean
Note: If you are using kernel 2.6 enter the following command '#make linux26', before doing '#make install'.
#make install
-Installing asterisk
#cd /usr/src/asterisk/asterisk
#make clean
Note: If you want to use a mp3 files for music-on-hold enter the following command '#make mpg123', before doing '#make install'.
#make install
If this is your first installation perform 'make samples' to install sample configuration files.
