How to Install Asterisk on CentOS

Installing Asterisk on CentOS

The first step that you should make is for you to choose which version of Asterisk you want to install.

* Asterisk 1.2 - the stable version
* Asterisk 1.4 - the version that is currently in beta testing

When you know which version you want to install download the according packages.
