How to install etherpad-lite on cPanel (shared hosting)

318 views Asked by At

My hoster allows to install node-js applications by using cPanel. I tried to install etherpad-lite, but once visiting the URL of the app, the app isn't working, just this notice is thrown out "It works! NodeJS 11.15.0".

Here's a screenshot of the cPanel:

As you can see, there's no package.json file in the directory. Maybe here's the issue? I just cloned the git repo as indicated in the installation guide, which results in the following file structure on my server:

I am aware of this very similar question, but since it was posted in 2015 and still has no suitable answers, I issued a new and more specific question with more information. I hope someone can point me into the right direction.

Application start up file should be "src/bin/run.sh" (from root folder). This will install all the dependencies and start the server.
