Asterisk installation on Ubuntu 18.04
Asterisk is an open source framework for building communications applications. Asterisk turns an ordinary computer into a communications server. Asterisk powers IP PBX systems, VoIP gateways, conference servers and other custom solutions. It is used by small businesses, large businesses, call centers, carriers and government agencies, worldwide. Asterisk is free and open source.
Step 1
Update installed OS:
# apt update
# apt upgradeInstall additional packages to compile Asterisk:
# apt install build-essential libncurses5-dev uuid-dev libxml2-dev libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev libjansson-dev libsrtp2-dev libedit-dev
The following NEW packages will be installed:
binutils binutils-common binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu build-essential cpp cpp-7 dpkg-dev fakeroot g++ g++-7 gcc gcc-7 gcc-7-base gir1.2-harfbuzz-0.0

For latest versions of Jansson and/or LibSRTP library you can follow this way:

Then choose target asterisk version and compile:

# wget https://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/asterisk-15-current.tar.gz

# cd asterisk-13.26.0
# ./configure --with-pjproject-bundled --with-crypto --with-ssl=ssl --with-srtp
# make && make install && make samples && make configFor manual configuring:
# make menuselect
