About
Debian 8 "Jessie" is the reference platform for
FreeSWITCH™ as of version 1.6 and is STRONGLY recommended for all applications due to its stability and broad support for the system libraries needed by FreeSWITCH.
Installing from Debian packages
latest release branch:
apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl curl https://files.freeswitch.org/repo/deb/debian/freeswitch_archive_g0.pub | apt-key add - echo "deb http://files.freeswitch.org/repo/deb/freeswitch-1.6/ jessie main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freeswitch.list # you may want to populate /etc/freeswitch at this point. # if /etc/freeswitch does not exist, the standard vanilla configuration is deployed apt-get update && apt-get install -y freeswitch-all freeswitch-all-dbg gdb
master branch (eg: "git"):
WARNING not suitable for production
apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl curl https://files.freeswitch.org/repo/deb/debian/freeswitch_archive_g0.pub | apt-key add - echo "deb http://files.freeswitch.org/repo/deb/freeswitch-1.6/ jessie main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freeswitch.list echo "deb http://files.freeswitch.org/repo/deb/debian-unstable/ jessie main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freeswitch.list # you may want to populate /etc/freeswitch at this point. # if /etc/freeswitch does not exist, the standard vanilla configuration is deployed apt-get update && apt-get install -y freeswitch-all freeswitch-all-dbg gdb
Building Debian packages from master branch
WARNING not suitable for production
The master branch depends on video libraries which are not available as packages in Debian distribution, but are available from FreeSWITCH repository. Thus, you need to import the FreeSWITCH repository PGP key and use the supplied sources.list file.

Starting FreeSWITCH
Starting FreeSWITCH
cd /usr/local/freeswitch/ ./bin/freeswitch -ncwait -nonat ./bin/fs_cli
Note that when installed from packages (as in "latest release branch") the binaries are located in "/usr/bin/freeswitch" (It should also be possible to just use "freeswitch" - double check with "which").
