So you have installed etherpad lite and you want to add support for importing and export pdf and .doc files? It’s easy.
Drop to shell and type
apt-get install abiword
Next open up your settings.json and change:
"abiword" : null,
to
"abiword" : "/usr/bin/abiword",
Hi. I am on a shared host using CentOS and I can’t use yum so I have to manually compile and install it to my $HOME directory in bin using wget and ./configure and then make && make install. I have gone all over the place trying to collect the dependencies of abiword and compile it but I’m having a hard time trying to find all of the files and make it all work. Could you please post detailed instructions on how to compile it from the source and instal everything manually? That would really help me out and others for sure. Thanks!
No idea when it comes to shared hosts. There are many reasons why shared hosts are a bad idea, for this reason I don’t care about them and ignore them. My advice would be to ask your shared hosting provider for help or get proper hosting.
