Install Etherpad Lite on Ubuntu and Debian

Date: 2011.08.01 | Category: etherpad, guide, install, installations | Response: 11

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/v0.6.12/node-v0.6.12.tar.gz
tar -zxvf node-v0.6.11.tar.gz
cd node-v0.6.11
./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
```
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 on Debian

Date: 2010.03.10 | Category: debian, etherpad, google, guide, install, installations | Response: 21

IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS DOCUMENTATION IS NOW DATED. You can now install Etherpad from apt.

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

Install prereqs
```
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
```
Wait quite a while while it builds.
Test by browsing to your server at http://hostnameofserver:9000

Making pro work…
Make sure it doesn’t redirect to etherpad.com for pro

Edit /usr/local/etherpad/trunk/etherpad/src/main.js

Replace all instances of Etherpad.com with yourdomain.com

Edit /usr/local/etherpad/trunk/etherpad/src/static/crossdomain.xml

Add to the obvious section
```
<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';
```

Short throw projector rumour

Date: 2009.09.29 | Category: installations, iwb, projector, short, throw, ultra | Response: 0

I’m not usually one for spreading rumours but I heard today that you can get a Hitachi ultra short throw projector with wall mount fully fit for £949 with a full 3 year bulb + unit warranty.

I’m waiting on hearing confirmation but if this is true then it is an amazing deal! I guess we’re waiting on an official press release from the installs team..
