Unable to access etherpad

[EPEffects]

I tried out running etherpad on Debian 8, Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04 and CentOS07.

I can't run it on Debian 8 and if i run it on Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04 and CentOS07, i get following error:

[2016-11-01 13:04:00.789] [ERROR] console - (node:14477) fs: re-evaluating native module sources is not supported. If you are using the graceful-fs module, please update it to a more recent version.

[2016-11-01 13:04:03.303] [INFO] console - The plugin admin page is at http://[hidden ip]:9001/admin/plugins

I used Google and tried to solve it:

[etherpad@root596541 etherpad-lite]$ npm info graceful-fs -v
3.10.3
[etherpad@root596541 etherpad-lite]$ npm update -g npm

But after that, npm stopped working:

[root@root596541 ~]#  npm info graceful-fs -v
module.js:457
    throw err;
    ^

I hope, someone can help me!

Thank you :)

Some other users reported the same error, do the steps mentioned on this issue solve your problem?

Well, i tried all steps on the issue, but at least the error has changed ^^

etherpad@root596541:~/etherpad-lite/bin$ ./run.sh
Ensure that all dependencies are up to date...  If this is the first time you have run Etherpad please be patient.
Ensure jQuery is downloaded and up to date...

I tried to install graceful-fs, but it's still the same error:

etherpad@root596541:~/etherpad-lite/bin$ npm install graceful-fs
/home/etherpad/etherpad-lite
└── graceful-fs@4.1.9

npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/etherpad/etherpad-lite/package.json'

npm WARN etherpad-lite No repository field.
npm WARN etherpad-lite No README data
npm WARN etherpad-lite No license field.

Any clues?

@EPEffects I've notices you're running the bash script from inside of bin/. The script should be run from the etherpad-lite/ folder, so maybe that's what causing the error. Can you try running ~/etherpad-lite$ ./bin/run.sh, please? Thanks!

Still getting the same error...

After 2 hours, I was able to fix this error... I don't know how, though ^^
