# Asterisk Project : Installing Sample Files

Added by malcolmd , edited by chazzam on Aug 09, 2011

To install a set of sample configuration files for Asterisk, type:

    [root@server asterisk-1.8.X.Y]# make samples

Any existing sample files which have been modified will be given a .old file extension. For example, if you had an existing file named extensions.conf, it would be renamed to extensions.conf.old and the sample dialplan would be installed as extensions.conf.
