If you aren't going to work in --dev-links mode (meaning you would like a standard install of FreePBX 12) then do NOT follow the rest of this guide, failure to not adhere to these warning will only cause headaches for you, especially if you don't understand how FreePBX functions internally, instead run

mkdir /usr/src/freepbx
cd /usr/src/freepbx
git clone ssh://git@git.freepbx.org/freepbx/framework.git
cd framework
git checkout release/13.0
./install_amp --installdb

If you are on the FreePBX 7 Distro you can setup a development environment in less than 10 minutes. Check it out: Here

GIT

FreePBX uses GIT, an open source version control system. If you are unfamiliar with GIT, you can learn more about it at http://git-scm.com/ . If you are already familiar with Subversion, you may be interested in checking out http://git.or.cz/course/svn.html for a brief crash course based on your Subversion knowledge. Because GIT is based on a distributed system there is no 'one' central server as there was with SVN. However we consider our master server to be http://git.freepbx.org which mirrors to github at https://github.com/freepbx

Supported Modules

Supported Modules are modules that are actively supported by the FreePBX development team and are supported by FreePBX's Sponsor, Sangoma Technologies, INC. They can be found in our standard project http://git.freepbx.org/projects/FREEPBX  or on our mirror at https://github.com/freepbx

Contributed Modules

Contributed modules are modules that have been submitted to the FreePBX development team to host, they are very inactive and sometimes don't have a developer attached to them. They can be found in our contributed modules project http://git.freepbx.org/projects/FPBXCN  or on our mirror at https://github.com/freepbx-ContributedModules

Initial Setup

FreePBX 14 Warning

Note that FreePBX 14 requires PHP 5.6 or higher to run.  Currently, no patches or pull requests will be accepted to make it run on PHP 5.5 or lower. Your development environment MUST have PHP 5.6 or higher. The easiest way to accomplish this is to install FreePBX Distro 7 and then run 'yum install freepbx-devel'

  1. Make sure you have added your SSH key to our GIT Server: http://git.freepbx.org/plugins/servlet/ssh/account/keys

  2. Navigate to /usr/src

    cd /usr/src
  3. Checkout the devtools repo into this starting location

    git clone ssh://git@git.freepbx.org/freepbx/devtools.git
  4. Navigate to inside the devtools repo

    cd /usr/src/devtools 
  5. Install your default configuration settings to the config file (create a file in your home directory called .freepbxconfig and put the information below in it)

    .freepbxconfig

    repo_directory=/usr/src/freepbx
    language_directory=/usr/src/freepbxlocalization
  6. Run the freepbx_git.php setup script. This script will download all of the repos from the FreePBX Project, excluding devtools, into /usr/src/ (unless you specify somewhere else using --directory). When prompted for your Username and Password, please use your FreePBX.org Username and Password.

    ./freepbx_git.php --setup --switch=release/13.0
  7. Navigate to /usr/src/freepbx/framework

    cd /usr/src/freepbx/framework
  8. Run install with the '--dev-links' parameter. 

    ./install --dev-links

    Note you can add '-n' after '--dev-links', which will use secure defaults and passwords for all the services requred.

When you add the --dev-links parameter, this significantly and fundamentally changes the layout of your FreePBX machine. This parameter sets up symlinks throughout all of FreePBX and renders online module updates unreliable, at best! You should never do this on a production machine as it can easily cause significant and unexpected problems.

Receiving an Error?

 

PHP Fatal error:  Cannot redeclare composerRequire29de5ac29f36fb522a59e5e3da081c0a() (previously declared in /usr/src/freepbx/framework/amp_conf/htdocs/admin/libraries/Composer/vendor/composer/autoload_real.php:63) in /var/www/html/admin/libraries/Composer/vendor/composer/autoload_real.php on line 70

This is caused because you have an existing installation of FreePBX and our installer will not override a real file with a symlink. To fix it we should, perform the following after backing up any changes you in /var/www/html:

  1. Open /etc/freepbx.conf and get the database credentials (save them in a safe place)

  2. Remove /etc/freepbx.conf & /etc/amportal.conf

  3. Remove /var/www/html/

  4. cd /usr/src/freepbx/framework

  5. ./install --dbuser=[username from /etc/freepbx.conf] --dbpass=[password from /etc/freepbx.conf] --dev-links

Maintenance

Updating Modules

  1. Navigate to your devtools directory

    cd /usr/src/devtools
  2. Run freepbx_git with --refresh

    ./freepbx_git.php --refresh
    ./freepbx_git.php -s
    cd ../freepbx/framework
    ./install --dev-links -n

Checking Out Modules from Contributed

  1. Navigate to your devtools directory

    cd /usr/src/devtools
  2. Check out the module using the raw name (a list of modules can be seen here: http://git.freepbx.org/projects/FPBXCN

    ./freepbx_git.php -m accountcodepreserve
