Step #02 : Setup firewall and allow required port FreePBX.
[root@localhost ~]# dnf -y group install "Development Tools" [root@localhost ~]# adduser asterisk -m -c "Asterisk User" [root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp --permanent [root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=443/tcp --permanent [root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=5060/tcp --permanent [root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=5060/udp --permanent [root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=5160/tcp --permanent [root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=5160/udp --permanent [root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=10000-20000/udp --permanent [root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --reload
Step #03 : Install web server httpd and database server mariadb.

[root@localhost jansson-2.12]# autoreconf -i
[root@localhost jansson-2.12]# ./configure --libdir=/usr/lib64
[root@localhost jansson-2.12]# make
[root@localhost jansson-2.12]# make install
[root@localhost jansson-2.12]# cd /usr/src
[root@localhost src]# tar xvfz asterisk-16-current.tar.gz
[root@localhost src]# rm -f asterisk-*-current.tar.gz
[root@localhost src]# cd asterisk-*
[root@localhost asterisk-16.10.0]# contrib/scripts/install_prereq install

[root@localhost asterisk-16.10.0]# contrib/scripts/get_mp3_source.sh
[root@localhost asterisk-16.10.0]# make menuselect
[root@localhost asterisk-16.10.0]# make
[root@localhost asterisk-16.10.0]# make install
[root@localhost asterisk-16.10.0]# make config
