Additionally, replace \u2018root\u2019 with the username of the admin account if necessary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Before starting, you have to make sure that all Ubuntu OS packages installed on the server are up to date. You can do this by running the following commands:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt-get update -y\r\napt-get upgrade -y<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-install-the-required-packages\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-2-Install-the-Required-Packages\"><\/span>Step 2: Install the Required Packages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>First, you will need to install all dependencies required to install Etherpad in your server. You can install all of them with the following command:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt-get install libssl-dev pkg-config git gcc g++ make build-essential gnupg2 -y<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Once all the packages are installed, you will need to install Node.js in your system. At the time of writing this tutorial, the latest version of Node.js is 14.15.0. By default, Node.js is not available in the Ubuntu 20.04 standard repository. So you will need to install the Node.js repository to your system. You can add the Node.js repository with the following command:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">curl -sL https:\/\/deb.nodesource.com\/setup_14.x -o nodesource_setup.sh\r\nbash nodesource_setup.sh<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Once the repository is added, install the Node.js with the following command:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt-get install nodejs -y<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>After installing Node.js, verify the installed version of Node.js with the following command:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">node -v<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You should get the following output:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">v14.15.0\r\n<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-install-and-configure-mariadb-database\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-3-Install-and-Configure-MariaDB-Database\"><\/span>Step 3: Install and Configure MariaDB Database<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Etherpad uses MySQL\/MariaDB to store its data. So MariaDB server must be installed in your server. If not installed, you can install it with the following command:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt-get install mariadb-server -y<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Once installed, log in to the MariaDB console with the following command:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">mysql<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Once login, create a database and user with the following command:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">MariaDB [(none)]&gt;
