Start.bat won't run #6764

Wass89 commented 1 week ago

Premise: I am a new Etherpad user and as such I'm still very inexperient.

I am trying to install Etherpad lite on my PC, which runs on Windows 10 Home. I followed instructions on the Etherpad website, installed the latest Node.js runtime and attempted to execute start.bat as administrator. However, when I do that, the console windows shuts itself down immediately, and I cannot proceed with the installation.

I realize this may be a very simple issue, but I have looked for an answer and haven't been able to find it. Apologies in advance if I have overlooked something. Any help would be appreciated.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download Windows Version 2.2.6 from Etherpad website
  2. Extract all files from WinRar archive
  3. Right-click on start.bat and choose run as administrator

Expected behavior Console window ought to open and, through browser, allow me to reach localhost and set up server.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

It could be that some part of the website is outdated. There is an up to date readme in the github description. You just do the following:

Download the latest Node.js runtime from nodejs.org. Install pnpm: npm install -g pnpm (Administrator privileges may be required). Clone the repository: git clone -b master Run pnpm i Run pnpm run build:etherpad Run pnpm run prod Visit http://localhost:9001 in your browser.
