installing asterisk from yum repo on centos 5

// November 26th, 2008 // linux

My last article about installing asterisk on centos was quite primitive. A friend of mine Marvin mentioned about installing asterisk from a yum repo at atrpms. That makes life a lot easier, thanx bro. What @CentOS twitted me reminded me to blog this.

You have to create this file.

$>sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo

Put the following configuration in it.

[atrpms]
name=CentOS $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms
baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable
gpgkey=http://atrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms
gpgcheck=1

Now we need to update our yum.

$>sudo yum -y update

or

$>sudo yum -y upgrade

Now, for the meat. Let’s try installing asterisk from yum

$>sudo yum install asterisk

Done. Hope that ran on your end.
