How to Install OpenSIPS on Manjaro

OpenSIPS is a powerful SIP server that can be used for a variety of applications, such as VoIP gateways, SIP proxy servers, and more. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install OpenSIPS on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Before installing OpenSIPS, you need to ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

Manjaro Linux installed and configured
Root or sudo access to the system

Step 1: Update the System

Before installing OpenSIPS, make sure that your system is up-to-date with the latest packages. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2: Install OpenSIPS Dependencies

OpenSIPS requires several libraries and tools to be installed on your system. To install these dependencies, run the following command:

sudo pacman -S git make automake gcc libxml2 libxml2-utils libxml2-dev libncurses5-dev libexpat1-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libpcre3-dev libmysqlclient-dev postgresql-libs libsqlite3-dev libhiredis-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libprotoc-dev protobuf-compiler libprotobuf-c-dev

Step 3: Clone the OpenSIPS Repository

Next, you need to clone the OpenSIPS repository from GitHub. Open the terminal and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/OpenSIPS/opensips.git

This will download the latest source code of OpenSIPS to your local system.

Step 4: Build and Install OpenSIPS

To build and install OpenSIPS, navigate to the OpenSIPS directory and execute the following commands:
