Asterisk runs on various versions of MacOSX, starting with MacOSX "Jaguar" (ver 10.2), "Panther" (ver 10.3), and "Tiger" (ver 10.4.x). MacOSX, uses an open-source subsystem called Darwin which is based on FreeBSD and the Mach 3.0 microkernel. This means that BSD code can mostly be used without modification but drivers need to be specifically written for Darwin/MacOSX only.
NOTE:PCI CARD SUPPORT for MacOSX is not available. Use EXTERNAL GATEWAY DEVICES instead.
Getting Started
If you are new to Asterisk and VoIP and you don't have the time or the nerve to concern yourself with building software from source code and editing configuration files, then a Mac running OSX is the best choice for you to get started. Installing Asterisk and setting up a basic home IP-PBX system on your Mac is as easy as anything else you do on your Mac, just as you would expect it to be. You don't need a consultant to do it for you. You can do it yourself and you don't need any prior knowledge to do so.Here is all you need to do:
- Download the Asterisk installation package for MacOSX and double click it to install Asterisk on your Mac
