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://etherpad.org/apt 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';

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.

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
