apt install gcc make g++ libedit-dev uuid-dev libjansson-dev apt install libxml2-dev sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev
wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/asterisk-16-current.tar.gz
tar -zxvf asterisk-16-current.tar.gz
cd asterisk-16.6.2/

./configure

root@metaspoit:~/asterisk-16.6.2# apt install libjansson-dev

./configure --with-jansson-bundled
