+# Building FreeSWITCH packages using `FSDEB`
+## Prerequisites
+FreeSWITCH packages can be built when FreeSWITCH is cloned using `git` only.
+(Methods described here won't work if you download a source tarball and extract it)
+
+Please make sure you have `git` and `curl` installed:
+```bash
+apt-get update
+apt-get install -y git curl
+```
+
+## Cloning FreeSWITCH
+Assuming you build Debian packages for a FreeSWITCH release (this can be your fork or another branch as well).
+
+```bash
+cd /usr/src
+git clone https://github.com/signalwire/freeswitch -b v1.10
+```
+
+## Configuring FreeSWITCH Debian repo (for dependencies)
+Since we are building a FreeSWITCH release let's configure FreeSWITCH Community Release Debian repo.
+We recommend using [FSGET](/scripts/packaging).
+
+Replace `<PAT or API token>` with your `SignalWire Personal Access Token (PAT)`
+[HOWTO Create a SignalWire Personal Access Token](https://developer.signalwire.com/freeswitch/FreeSWITCH-Explained/Installation/how-to-create-a-personal-access-token/how-to-create-a-personal-access-token)
+```bash
+curl -sSL https://freeswitch.org/fsget | bash -s <PAT or API token>
+```
+
+## Building packages with `FSDEB`
+```bash
+curl -sSL https://freeswitch.org/fsdeb | bash -s -- -b 999 -o /usr/src/fsdebs/ -w /usr/src/freeswitch
+```
+That's pretty much it!
+
+## Output
+`FSDEB` will generate `.deb`, `.dsc`, `.changes`, and `.tar.*` files in the output directory:
+```bash
+ls -la /usr/src/fsdebs/
+```
+
+## Usage
+You may be interested in other arguments of `FSDEB`:
+```bash
+curl -sSL https://freeswitch.org/fsdeb | bash -s -- -b BUILD_NUMBER -o OUTPUT_DIR [-w WORKING_DIR]
+```
+
+Required:
+- `-b`: Build number (part of package version)
+- `-o`: Output directory for packages
+
+Optional:
+- `-w`: Working directory (defaults to git root, needs to be git tree)
