3 installing asterisk - asterisk tutorial

Entire playlist: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=9E241EDD7EDF8E67

Here I introduce you to putty, an ssh tool that's used to remote to the server. Although generally pointless to do as your running the server on your own local machine, it's good to do for real word implementation and for nice copy paste features.
A biggie here (and much more important than putty) is the installation of asterisk.

There a few ways to install asterisk, I show how to install asterisk from tar balls. Keep in mind there's a slightly easier way to do it through yum, but then that would make things to easy ;).
I kept the video very concise. In this video, I basically just go through the commands more than a real explaination.

Here I'll put the commands for you copy and paste convenience.

#Below are the commands you can copy and paste into your centos box to install asterisk
cd /usr/src
wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/asterisk-1.8.3.tar.gz
yum install gcc gcc-c++ ncurses-devel libxml2-devel -y
./configure
make
make install
make samples

@haroonnaseem1 Well dynamic IP's work well in a lab environment. You definitely want to use static IP's in the real environment. That goes for any server. Use ifconfig command to set static IP. Then use route command to set the server's default gateway. Elastix and FreePBX are good alternatives for quick and easy deployments because these servers comes with a GUI. Also consider installing webmin, really good tool.
