If not, it will download and install them during Homebrew installation. Homebrew will determine if the correct Command Line Tools are already installed. If macOS is not the latest release, the CLT may not match. That's because when Apple upgrades Xcode, only the latest release of macOS CLT are usually supplied. You are using a macOS prior to the latest release and Xcode is installed you may have the wrong CLT.You are using the latest macOS and Xcode is installed, the correct CLT is already installed.Xcode and CLT are not already installed Homebrew will download and install the Command Line Tools during Homebrew installation.This is not something you need to worry about because if: The Xcode Software Developer Kit used to develop macOS GUI applications already includes the CLT. Generation of FreeSWITCH™ and its prerequisites require the macOS Developer Command Line Tools that provide LLVM, Clang, Git and other tools required to generate non-GUI applications. Homebrew's Git repository is maintained by volunteers. Homebrew saves time since there is no need to locate packages and determine the version required for each macOS release. They are installed using Homebrew, a package manager and its repository of products for macOS. If you don't understand this, don't worry, it doesn't affect anything.Īdditional programs are required to generate and run FreeSWITCH™. The path is viewed by running 'echo $PATH' in Terminal. Use the Finder to navigate to the /usr/local folder and drag it under 'FAVORITES'.Įxtra info: /usr/local/bin is defined in the default macOS path. Since /usr/local is accessed often, it should be placed in the Finder 'FAVORITES' sidebar for quick access. If you would like to see the ownership and permissions of directories and files use the ' ls -l' command in Terminal. Copy/paste these commands in Terminal, sudo will prompt for the administrator password: Use the mkdir command to create the freeswitch and src directories and the chown command to change the owner. This is typically the main user name of the Mac. The user name (owner) and group name of the /usr/local subdirectories created by this procedure must match the user and group FreeSWITCH™ will run under. The subdirectories can then have their security changed so that non-administrators can modify them.

Subdirectores of /usr/local can be added or removed using administrator authority. The /usr/local directory is protected by System Integrity Protection (aka rootless) and cannot be removed or changed.

FreeSWITCH™ prerequisite source and runtime directories in /usr/local.

FreeSWITCH™ runtime located in /usr/local/freeswitch.

FreeSWITCH™ source located in /usr/local/src.

Having a single location allows easy removal. This procedure adds the following subdirectories to /usr/local:

Killall Finder Directories Overview and SecurityĪll FreeSWITCH™ and prerequisite files are placed into the macOS provided /usr/local directory which is normally empty and intended for additional software such as FreeSWITCH™.

In Settings–>Profiles–>Window change the Window Size to larger values such as 140x48 to reduce having to resize the window often.ĭefaults write AppleShowAllFiles YES.

Start the Terminal application by clicking it in the dock.

Copy Terminal in the Applications/Utilities folder into the Dock for quick access.

The following changes are highly recommended: The Terminal application is used extensively during installation. However, to restore to a point where nothing was added or changed, a backup is required. Preparation BackupĪll of the software this procedure installs can be removed easily. It takes one to two hours to have the sample FreeSWITCH™ configuration running on macOS. There's extra information for technical people who want it, don't be concerned if you don't understand it.

Prerequisite packages that FreeSWITCH™ needs to function.

Apple Command Line Tools and Compilers that provide the tools needed to generate everything else.
