Summary

In this chapter, we accomplished a number of objectives. They are as follows:

  • Downloaded and installed FreeSWITCH
  • Customized the installation by modifying the modules.conf to compile the mod_flite TTS module (Linux/Unix/Mac OS X only)
  • Customized the FreeSWITCH configuration by modifying modules.conf.xml to automatically load mod_flite, when FreeSWITCH is launched
  • Launched FreeSWITCH and issued several commands to confirm its operational status
  • Launched FreeSWITCH as a daemon (Linux/Unix) or as a service (Windows)

In the following chapter, we will put our new installation into action as we explore the default configuration of FreeSWITCH.
