Installing FreeSWITCH using FSGET

Prerequisites

Dependencies

Make sure you have cURL binary installed or use any other downloader. To install curl type

apt update && apt install -y curl

Authentication required

A SignalWire Personal Access Token (PAT) or an API Token (for enterprise customers) is required to access FreeSWITCH install packages.

HOWTO Create a SignalWire Personal Access Token

Upgrade to FreeSWITCH Advantage

Configuring FreeSWITCH Debian repository

curl -sSL https://freeswitch.org/fsget | bash -s <PAT or API token> [release|prerelease] [install|source|build-dep|showsrc]

Notice that fsget accepts arguments:

<PAT or FSA token> (Optional) - omit if the FreeSWITCH apt repository is already configured (the credentials are already in /etc/apt/auth.conf)
[release|prerelease] (Optional) - release by default, prerelease is what you see in the master branch
[install|source|build-dep|showsrc] (Optional) - action to perform after the repository is configured. If missing it will not perform any action after configuring the repository.

FreeSWITCH Community or FreeSWITCH Enterprise version is installed based on the token provided.

Enterprise customers may install FreeSWITCH Community versions by using a SignalWire Personal Access Token instead of an API Token.

Arguments can be supplied in any order — fsget recognises them by pattern.

Available actions

Action	Description
`install`	Install `freeswitch-meta-all` after the repository is configured.
`source`	Download the FreeSWITCH source package for the current build architecture.
`build-dep`	Install the FreeSWITCH build dependencies for the current build architecture.
`showsrc`	Print the FreeSWITCH source version for the current build architecture and exit.

Because FreeSWITCH source packages encode the build architecture in the version string, source and build-dep look up the exact version for the current architecture before invoking apt-get — this prevents apt from picking a candidate built for a different architecture.

Examples

Configure the repository and install FreeSWITCH:

curl -sSL https://freeswitch.org/fsget | bash -s <PAT or API token> release install

Configure the prerelease repository and install build dependencies:

curl -sSL https://freeswitch.org/fsget | bash -s <PAT or API token> prerelease build-dep

Token already configured — just install build dependencies for the current architecture:

curl -sSL https://freeswitch.org/fsget | bash -s build-dep

Token already configured — fetch the source package for the current architecture:

curl -sSL https://freeswitch.org/fsget | bash -s source

Print the FreeSWITCH source version for the current architecture:

curl -sSL https://freeswitch.org/fsget | bash -s showsrc
