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?) — 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?
