Dear User,

Actually you don’t need to install it. It is a web based tool.
Follow the link: https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/blob/master/README.md#linux  to create new one.
Otherwise, after downloading etherpad lite you need to setup a node.js server for that but people generally use this online. Now the question comes- “How to?”. Nothing difficult to do. All the details are stated here:

Thank you!

Here are the steps how you can install Etherpad Lite on Linux. First, you need to install the prerequisites. Use this command to install:

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

Next is to install NPM and nodeJS.

  • 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

This is the part where the actual installation of Etherpad Lite takes place and running it afterwards.

  • 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.

Here, installing Etherpad Lite is finished and it should be running. You can access it from “http://localhost:9001”. If you have an older version of Linux Ubuntu or Debian, you need to install sqllite from backports. Open “/etc/apt/sources.list” and add without quotes “deb https://backports.debian.org/debian-backports lenny-backports main”. Save and close the file.

Run the following commands:

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

If you encounter an error, run the command without quotes “rm -Rf node_modules” and execute the startup script again, run.sh. In case these steps no longer work because of a much updated environment, please visit Official Install Documents by Etherpad Foundation for much up-to-date instructions.
