CentOS Updates (If Any) 2. Disabling SELinux 3. Reboot 4. Installation of Dependencies for Asterisk 11 5. Downloading your Asterisk Source Code 6. Extraction of Downloaded Files 7. DAHDI Installation 8. LibPRI Installation 9. Change Asterisk Directory 10. Run Configure Script for Asterisk 11. Install Sample Files 12. Start DAHDI 13. Start Asterisk Each step is elaborated as under:

1. CentOS Updates
Update your CentOS 6 Server for any possible unimplemented updates. yum update -y

2. Disabling SELinux
You can use any text editor (VIM etc) to commit this change. Go to /etc/selinux/config and change SELINUX=enforcing to SELINUX=disabled This can also be done by using command line: sed -i s/SELINUX=enforcing/SELINUX=disabled/g /etc/selinux/config

3. Reboot
Once the aforementioned change is committed and the file is updated, reboot the system using: reboot

4. Installation of Basic Dependencies


Asterisk 11.0.0 requires some prerequisite dependencies. Here is the command line to install them:
yum install -y make wget openssl-devel ncurses-devel newt-devel libxml2-devel kernel-devel gcc gcc-c++ sqlite-devel

5. Downloading Your Asterisk Source Code


Move to directory /usr/src by given command: cd /usr/src/ and then download the Source Code tar balls using these commands (one by one or at a time):
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

6. Extraction of Downloaded Files


Extract the downloaded tar balls to their corresponding directories using: tar zxvf dahdi-linux-complete* tar zxvf libpri* tar zxvf asterisk*

7. DAHDI Installation
DAHDI (Digium Asterisk Hardware Device Interface) can be installed using the command line: cd /usr/src/dahdi-linux-complete* make && make install && make config

8. LibPRI Installation
In order to enable your BRI, PRI and QSIG based hardware, you will be needing PRI Library or LibPRI. You can install these libraries using: cd /usr/src/libpri* make && make install

9. Changing Asterisk Directory


Now you have to move back to the Asterisk Installation Directory: cd /usr/src/asterisk*

10. Running Configure Script for Asterisk


At this point, you need to know your CentOS 6 Architecture (32 or 64 Bit). In many cases you are aware of it. In case you are not, try this command: uname -a

For 32 Bit, you will be getting response like: 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue May 31 13:23:01 EDT 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

For 64 Bit, system will respond with something like: 2.6.18-238.19.1.el5 #1 SMP Fri Jul 15 07:31:24 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Based on your OS Architecture, go ahead with these commands for Asterisk Configuration Script. For 32 Bit: ./configure && make menuselect && make && make install

For 64 Bit: ./configure --libdir=/usr/lib64 && make menuselect && make && make install

11. Installing Sample Files


Sample files are great resource specially for the newbies. Install Sample Files using: make samples

Once done, add the Asterisk Install Script in directory /etc/init.d/ using: make config

12. Starting DAHDI


To start DAHDI Device Drivers, use: service dahdi start

13. Start Asterisk


Finally, start Asterisk: service asterisk start

Do your stuff by connecting to the Asterisk Console: asterisk -rvvv

And you're done. Contribute back to Voip-info.org if you're done. Start discussion in case of any problem. Newbies, do search and get updated with 'sudo' command. It may bug the beginners too much.
