This package has been tested on :

• Amazon Linux 2023
• Debian 12.5 "bookworm"
• Ubuntu 22.04 LTS "jammy"

I have had success using the Raspberry Pi Imager application, selecting :

Raspberry Pi Device : "Raspberry Pi 4"

# install git
sudo yum update
sudo yum install -y git

# install git
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install -y git
sudo apt autoremove -y

# install git
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install -y git
sudo apt autoremove -y

• If the above pre-installation commands (e.g. sudo apt upgrade) resulted in the kernel being updated then you should reboot the system before proceeding.

# download this repository
git clone https://github.com/Allan-N/ASL-Install.git

# build and install AllStarLink
cd ASL-Install
./asl-install.sh

The asl-install.sh script should present you with a menu of the steps needed to build, install, and configure a node. Execute each step, in order, at least one time.

When finished, the script will suggest that you reboot the system. Unless you know that the changes you made would not affect the running configuration then please consider that to have been a strong suggestion.

Note: to update your local copy of the repository you can use the git pull command

Many of the AllStarLink/Asterisk commands (e.g. asl-menu, astres.sh, etc) are installed in the /usr/sbin directory. One of the gotchas with [Debian] installs is that the default search PATH does not include this directory. You can update your default path by updating the "~/.profile" file in your home directory. As an example, I have updated my file to look like :

...
# if running bash
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
    # include .bashrc if it exists
    if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
        . "$HOME/.bashrc"
    fi
fi

# update PATH (WA3WCO)                                               <--- ADDED
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"  <--- ADDED
...

To update the hostname

hostnamectl
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname ASL-WA3WCO

To update the timezone

timedatectl
timedatectl list-timezones
sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York

To check the networking subsystem

networkctl status

To turn off the telemetry that announces nodes being connected/disconnected you can make the following changes to the /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf file :

Change "holdofftelem" from "0" to "1"
Change "telemdefault" from "1" to "2"
