= Maintaining ethercalc =

We are running [http://ethercalc.net/ ethercalc] (a spreadsheet/wiki web software) at https://calc.mayfirst.org/.

It depends on [wiki:nodejs node.js].

It was installed by running, as the calc user on mchesney (and in the /home/calc):

{{{
npm install ethercalc
}}}

That created a directory structure in /home/calc/node_modules.

The init script is handled by runit and is located in /etc/sv/ethercalc.

To update to the latest version of ethercalc, run the following command in /home/calc as the ethercalc user:

{{{
npm update
}}}

Then, restart ethercalc (as root):

{{{
sv restart ethercalc
}}}

Note: the current version of ethercalc only works because of a patch [https://github.com/audreyt/ethercalc/issues/46 described here]. If updated, you may need to edit the specified file by hand.
