Building from the latest code

If you prefer to be on the latest version of FreeSWITCH, you will need a Git client. Use yum, apt, or whichever package manager your distribution has to install Git. In Windows, a popular (and free) client is TortoiseGit (code.google.com/p/tortoisegit).

In Linux/Unix environments a typical Git checkout and compile session would look like this:

#>cd /usr/src
#>git clone git://git.freeswitch.org/freeswitch.git
#>cd freeswitch
#>./bootstrap.sh
#>./configure -C
#>make install
#>make cd-sounds-install
#>make cd-moh-install

The preceding commands will take some time to complete. You can automate the process a bit by chaining the commands together with the && operator. These commands are discussed in more detail in the following sections.
