Introduction
This article is to give an overview to install FreeSWITCH with its default settings.
$ sudo yum update
$ sudo yum groupinstall "Development tools" -y
$
sudo yum install git autoconf automake libtool gcc-c++ libuuid-devel
zlib-devel libjpeg-devel ncurses-devel openssl-devel sqlite-devel.x86_64
curl-devel pcre-devel speex-devel ldns ldns-devel libedit-devel
gtk+-devel gtk2-devel ntpdate yasm-devel.x86_64 lua-devel opus-devel
libshout-devel libsndfile-devel
Following is the step by step guide for installing FreeSWITCH.
Step # 1
Download and extract FreeSWITCH source:
$ cd /usr/local/src/
$ sudo git clone https://freeswitch.org/stash/scm/fs/freeswitch.git
Step # 2
Compile & Install FreeSWITCH with libyuv:
$ cd /usr/local/src/freeswitch
$ cd libs
$ sudo git clone https://freeswitch.org/stash/scm/sd/libyuv.git
$ cd libyuv
$ sudo make -f linux.mk CXXFLAGS="-fPIC -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -Iinclude/"
$ sudo make install
$ sudo cp /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libyuv.pc /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/
$ cd ../../
$ sudo ./bootstrap.sh
# If you want to change installation directory the use following command:
$ sudo ./configure --prefix=<desired location path>
# If you are facing issues of libyuv then you can use following command:
$ sudo ./configure
$ sudo make cd-sounds-install cd-moh-install
$ sudo make
$ sudo make install
If you encounter below error while compiling Freeswitch:
making all mod_opus
make[4]: Entering directory '/usr/local/src/freeswitch/src/mod/codecs/mod_opus'
Makefile:884: *** You must install libopus-dev to build mod_opus. Stop.
make[4]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/src/freeswitch/src/mod/codecs/mod_opus'
Makefile:645: recipe for target 'mod_opus-all' failed
make[3]: *** [mod_opus-all] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/src/freeswitch/src/mod'
Makefile:555: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/src/freeswitch/src'
Makefile:2948: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/src/freeswitch'
Makefile:1346: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2
You need to comment following lines in source and then recompile again:
vi freeswitch/src/mod/codecs/mod_opus/Makefile
# Comment line 889 & 890
#install: error
#all: error

Step # 3
Create freeswitch user for running freeswitch:
# create user 'freeswitch'
# add it to group 'daemon'
# change owner and group of the freeswitch installation
$ cd /usr/local
$ sudo useradd --system --home-dir /usr/local/freeswitch -G daemon freeswitch
$ sudo passwd -l freeswitch
$ sudo chown -R freeswitch:daemon /usr/local/freeswitch/
$ sudo chmod -R 770 /usr/local/freeswitch/
$ sudo chmod -R 750 /usr/local/freeswitch/bin/*
$ sudo mkdir /var/run/freeswitch
$ sudo chown -R freeswitch:daemon /var/run/freeswitch
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch /usr/bin/ # needed by /etc/init.d/freeswitch
Step # 4
Edit codecs priority and SIP Port for running Freeswitch as desired:
$ sudo vi /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/vars.xml
....
#Adding VP8 Video Codec
<X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="global_codec_prefs=OPUS,G722,PCMU,PCMA,GSM,VP8"/>
<X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="outbound_codec_prefs=PCMU,PCMA,GSM,VP8"/>
.....
#Change SIP Port
<X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="internal_sip_port=6000"/>
Step # 5
Create symbolic links for FreeSWITCH executables:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch /usr/local/bin/freeswitch
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/freeswitch/bin/fs_cli /usr/local/bin/fs_cli
Step # 6
Create FreeSWITCH init script:
$ sudo touch /etc/init.d/freeswitch
$ sudo chmod a+x /etc/init.d/freeswitch
$ sudo vi /etc/init.d/freeswitch
Add following code in init script of FreeSWITCH:
#! /bin/sh
#
# freeswitch: Starts the freeswitch Daemon
#
# chkconfig: 345 96 02
# processname: freeswitch
# description: Freeswitch centos init script
# config:
# Author: gled
# Source function library.

Step # 7
Starting FreeSWITCH:
$ sudo service freeswitch start
