How do I install asterisk-13.7.5 in Ubuntu 16.04?

Question

I get this error:

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
/usr/src/asterisk-13.19.1/Makefile.rules:176: recipe for target 'chan_pjsip.so' failed
make[1]: *** [chan_pjsip.so] Error 1
Makefile:378: recipe for target 'channels' failed
make: *** [channels] Error 2

Please give us links to download asterisk server in Ubuntu 16.04!

Could you please add a little more detail? What *exactly* did you do, what did you expect to happen and what happened instead? Did you encounter any warning or error messages? Please reproduce them *in their entirety* in your question. You can select, copy and paste terminal content and most dialogue messages in Ubuntu. Please **[edit]** your post to add information instead of posting a comment. (see [How do I ask a good question?](/help/how-to-ask)) — David Foerster, Feb 24 '18 at 15:49

In Ubuntu 16.04, the package sources contain asterisk v13.1.0 and it can be install simply with sudo apt install asterisk. If for some reason you need a newer version, you can (roughly sorted from best to worst practice):

upgrade to Ubuntu 17.10 STS, whose sources provide asterisk v13.17.2
wait a bit and upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, whose sources have asterisk v13.18.3
use a deb package from packages.ubuntu.com, e.g. the 18.04 amd64 one
download the latest version from asterisk.org and install it as explained in How do I install a .tar.gz (or .tar.bz2) file?
