:Briefly, a single node configuration is straight forward. Once you are logged in run pttlink-menu. The system will walk you through a first time setup of your node by asking you a number of questions. You'll need to have created an PTTLink account, created a server, requested a node number and have your node's password.

: Unless the script does something really strange or uses something specific to only one Linux distribution, The script should be made to work. We will be happy to work with script writers to move their script to PTTLink.
: Node operators have the freedom to use and install any custom scripts that run on Linux. Unless the script does something really strange or uses something specific to only one Linux distribution, the script can be modified to work.

For those who are technically savvy, and want to control the installation process to a fine level of granularity, app_rpt is an application which comes bundled with Asterisk, however, a later version may be available on our source repository. All you need to do is go to asterisk.org, download asterisk, configure the asterisk to build app_rpt by modifying the Makefile in the asterisk/apps directory, and then compile and install it. You can get the latest version of app_rpt.c along with the sound files, and sample configuration files from our repository mentioned in the developers section of this website.
