Asterisk^® 12

How to install the new version of asterisk is quite simple. If you are already familiar with updating it, you have nothing to worry about. The installation should go smoothly. If you are not familiar with it here are some of the steps.

• If you are using a freePBX (PBX in a flash) platform, you can skip the process of installing extra software like gcc or autoconf
