Installing Etherpad Lite on Debian/Ubuntu clean.

Part 1 – Installing prerequisites

apt-get install build-essential python libssl-dev git-core git libsqlite3-dev gzip curl
# you will be prompted to press Y

Part 2 – Installing nodeJS and NPM

mkdir ~/local
cd ~/local
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/node-v0.4.10.tar.gz
tar -zxvf node-v0.4.10.tar.gz
cd node-v0.4.10
./configure --prefix=$HOME/local/node
make
make install
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/node/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.profile
echo 'export NODE_PATH=$HOME/local/node:$HOME/local/node/lib/node_modules' >> ~/.profile
source ~/.profile
curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
# You will be prompted to type yes.

Part 3 – Installing Etherpad Lite and running it

git clone git://github.com/Pita/etherpad-lite.git
etherpad-lite/bin/run.sh
# You will be prompted to type Etherpad Lite rocks my socks.

You are now finished installing and Etherpad Lite should be running, you should be able to access it on http://localhost:9001

Only if you have an old version of Debian (Lenny) or Ubuntu then you will need to install sqllite from backports. To do open /etc/apt/sources.list and add:

deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports lenny-backports main

Save and close the file then type

apt-get update
apt-get -t lenny-backports install libsqlite3-dev

You may need to rebuild your modules if you have an error, to do this do an rm -Rf node_modules and run the startup script (run.sh) again!

Want to run Etherpad Lite as a service? Follow this guide. Make sure you do a chown -R etherpad-lite on the etherpad-lite folder if you have run it as root or any other user before hand..

Installing Etherpad 1.0.1 with APT

Add the following line as a source in your graphical package manager (In Ubuntu: System->Administration->Synaptic package manager; then Settings->Repositories and then finally Third party software), or edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list and add it there.

deb http://apt.etherpad.org all .

apt-get update
apt-get install etherpad

Answer the questions (if any, depends on your system settings)

/etc/init.d/etherpad start

Other Linux distributions
Download the .tgz and unpack it
Follow instructions in README

BELOW IS THE OLD GUIDE for Etherpad V1 released by Google

echo "deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

If the above fails then do not continue.  The output of

java -version

Should read..

java version "1.6.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

apt-get install scala mysql-server libmysql-java mercurial

Paste the below to /etc/profile

export PATH
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun"
export SCALA_HOME="/usr/share/java"
export JAVA="/usr/bin/java"
export SCALA="/usr/bin/scala"
export PATH="/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH"
export MYSQL_CONNECTOR_JAR="/usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java-5.1.10.jar"
export JAVA_HOME SCALA_HOME JAVA SCALA MYSQL_CONNECTOR_JAR PATH
umask 022

Download the etherpad source to /usr/local/etherpad

hg clone https://etherpad.googlecode.com/hg/ /usr/local/etherpad

Set the environment variables

export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun"
export SCALA_HOME="/usr/share/java"
export JAVA="/usr/bin/java"
export SCALA="/usr/bin/scala"
export PATH="/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH"
export MYSQL_CONNECTOR_JAR="/usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java-5.1.10.jar"

Add your domain to the superdomain section

nano /usr/local/etherpad/trunk/etherpad/src/etherpad/globals.js

Search for etherpad.com and replace it with your domain (confused? You will figure it out)

Create the etherpad mysql db and privelidges

mysql -u root -p

Enter your password when prompted

create database etherpad;
grant all privileges on etherpad.* to 'etherpad'@'localhost' identified by 'password';
quit

cd /usr/local/etherpad/trunk/etherpad/
ln -s /usr/share/java /usr/share/java/lib
bin/rebuildjar.sh
bin/run-local.sh

Test by browsing to your server at http://hostnameofserver:9000

Making pro work…

<allow-access-from domain="yourdomain.com" to-ports="*"/>

<allow-access-from domain="*.yourdomain.com" to-ports="*"/>

Edit /usr/local/etherpad/trunk/etherpad/src/etherpad/pro/pro_utils.js

Replace

var fromDomain = 'etherpad.com';

with

var fromDomain = 'yourdomain.com';

BELOW IS THE OLD DOCUMENTATION FOR ETHERPAD FULL

Grab the latest Etherpad .zip from http://etherpad.org and extract to c:\etherpad

Download and install Cygwin from http://www.cygwin.com/ – use defaults

Download Scala from http://www.scala-lang.org/sites/default/files/linuxsoft_archives/downloads/distrib/files/scala-2.7.7.final.zip and extract to c:\etherpad\scala-2.7.7

Download and install MySQL server from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
Create a MySQL database “etherpad” and a database user “etherpad”

Download the MySQL connector from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mirror.php?id=402367 and extract to c:\etherpad\mysql-connector-java-5.1.16

Download Java from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u25-download-346242.html and extract to c:\etherpad\JDK1.6_23

Open Cygwin (doubleclick on icon)

Change directory to Etherpad:

cd /cygdrive/c/Etherpad/

Copy the Libraries from one folder to another (temp fix):

cp /cygdrive/c/Etherpad/infrastructure/lib/* /cygdrive/c/Etherpad/infrastructure/ace/lib

Begin your build (if this errors check your task manager and check there are no java instances running that may cause a conflict):

bin/build.sh

Copy the default config to the correct location:

cp etherpad/etc/etherpad.localdev-default.properties etherpad/etc/etherpad.local.properties

Edit etherpad/etc/etherpad.local.properties and set
etherpad.SQL_JDBC_URL = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/etherpad
etherpad.SQL_PASSWORD = yoursqlpassword
etherpad.SQL_USERNAME = etherpad
etherpad.adminPass = somestrongpassword
topdomains = yourhostname.com,localhost

You can now run etherpad via:

bin/run.sh

Access your Etherpad server at:

http://localhost:9000/

BELOW IS THE OLD DOCUMENTATION THAT I AM LEAVING FOR THE SAKE OF HISTORY AND FOR REFERENCE. DAVE. WE CAME A LONG WAY DAVE.. IT’S BEEN EMOTIONAL :~

Below is my documentation that is sketchy, you should follow this guide instead.

In Windows:
- Install Java, Scala, MySQL, mysqlconnector and Mercurial under Windows.
- JAVA should be set to the java executable.
- JAVA_HOME should be set to the main jdk directory.
- SCALA should be set to the scala executable.
- SCALA_HOME should be set to the main scala distribution directory.
- PATH should contain $JAVA, $SCALA, and mysql
- MYSQL_CONNECTOR_JAR should be set to the mysql-connector JAR file included in the mysql-connector download.

- Install Cygwin.

These Files are needed in /etherpad/trunk/ since the archive holds files both in the etherpad and the infrastructure subfolder.

Steps:

adduser nagios (set the password)
cd /home/nagios
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/nagios/nrpe-2.12.tar.gz
* If this step fails visit http://www.nagios.org/download/addons for the latest URL

tar -zxvf nrpe-2.8.tar.gz
cd nrpe-2.12
apt-get install gcc gawk openssl
apt-get install make
apt-get install libssl-dev
apt-get install nagios-plugins
./configure
make all
make install-plugin
make install-daemon
make install-daemon-config
echo “only_from = 0.0.0.1″ >> /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
* Remember to replace 0.0.0.1 with your the IP address of your nagios server

cp init-script.debian /etc/init.d/nrpe
chmod 700 /etc/init.d/nrpe
/etc/init.d/nrpe start

You may want to make this script run on start up
update-rc.d nrpe defaults

First off: Got your * dns wildcard in place? You are going to need it.

Then: Set up your smtp server

Finally: Remove the need for SSL

Oh yeah then:  Fix the sign in link
