npm i -g ethercalc
ethercalc

Or install with our Docker image, which comes with built-in Redis server and webworker-threads support:

# Runs at port 6967 (default)
docker run -v /var/lib/redis:/redis:rw audreyt/ethercalc

# Runs at another port, for example 8080
docker run -p 8080:6967 -v /var/lib/redis:/redis:rw audreyt/ethercalc

Note the use of -v flag to store the Redis database on /var/lib/redis in the host server. In Docker versions 0.4.x, the flag was called -b instead.

Note that POST endpoints accept only application/json requests, and will reject regular form posts.

Fetch the page as a serialization in SocialCalc save format.

Replaces the page with a serialization in SocialCalc save format.

Takes a JSON structure with room and snapshot fields.

Replaces the page with a serialization in Socialtext save format.

Runs one or more commands specified in the command field.

Returns a JSON representation of all defined cells in the page.

Returns a JSON representation of a single cell in the page.

Returns a HTML rendering of the page. (GET /page.html also works.)

Returns a CSV rendering of the page. (GET /page.csv also works.)

Useful when running behind a proxy without WebSocket support.

Useful when setting up EtherCalc as a public REST API server.

Useful when running under an URL rewriter.

Offers read-write vs. read-only modes. See issues #1 and #4 for details on setting this up.

Runs a single-thread background loop with vm.createContext instead of webworker-threads.

Useful for running custom functions in server side that requires full VM access.
