I saw a plug-in I’d like to install (list_pads) and there’s a nice big “Install” button.
I click on install, it says “Installing” but now I have an error:
“local.mazizone.eu:9091 says:
An error occurred while installing ep_list_pads
/var/www/html/etherpad-lite/node_modules/_ep_comments_page:
Appears to be a git repo or submodule”
which suggests you first need to install ep_heading and then move this to the right directory, but when I try to install this plug-in I get the same issue
I do this on the command line, it fails, when I try
sudo npm i ep_list_pads
I get the following:
pi@mazizone:/var/www/html/etherpad-lite/node_modules $ sudo npm i ep_list_pads

Can you help?
I think we might need to put a warning on the documentation as it look likes the one-button-installation on the plugins interface (http://local.mazizone.eu:9001/admin/plugins ) might have some complications. Happy to learn that I've been making a basic mistake though! thanks for your help.
(raised in tech@mazizone list but presented here for wider audience in case other people have this issue)
I’d like to install some additional plug-ins for Etherpad on my MAZIzone (v2.5.3 stable channel). I’ve encountered a problem.
The admin interface for Ethernet has a plugins page http://local.mazizone.eu:9001/admin/plugins
I saw a plug-in I’d like to install (list_pads) and there’s a nice big “Install” button.
I click on install, it says “Installing” but now I have an error:
“local.mazizone.eu:9091 says: An error occurred while installing ep_list_pads /var/www/html/etherpad-lite/node_modules/_ep_comments_page: Appears to be a git repo or submodule”
Can you help me progress the installation?
I’ve come across https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/issues/1647
which suggests you first need to install ep_heading and then move this to the right directory, but when I try to install this plug-in I get the same issue
From https://www.npmjs.com/package/ep_list_pads I see there’s the instruction
npm i ep_list_pads
I do this on the command line, it fails, when I try
sudo npm i ep_list_pads
