Added by mjordan , edited by mdavenport on Nov 22, 2013

## Overview

Asterisk 12 is installed and configured in much the same way as previous versions of Asterisk - for more information, please see Installing Asterisk and Configuration and Operation. However, some of the new capabilities of Asterisk 12, notably the new chan_pjsip channel driver based on pjproject as well as the Alembic database migration tool, require new installation and configuration procedures. To learn more, please review the pages contained in this section.
