try removing etherpad-lite/node_modules and (if it exists)
etherpad-lite/src/node_modules
and start bin/run.sh again

Did that help at all?

I recieved a similar error.

I tried what was indicated by @marcelklehr but received the following error when attempting the bin/run.sh again

Ensure that all dependencies are up to date... If this is the first time you have run Etherpad please be patient.

Weird thing is that, I see there should be some logs in node_modules/npm-debug.log

However, when I get there, the node_modules directory is non-existent. I recreated the directory and set the ownership to my 'openerp' user, run the bin/run.sh ... and find that the directory is gone! I'll try recreating and 'touch'-ing the log file.

there seems to be something wrong with your setup. "ENOENT, open
'/opt/openerp/etherpad-lite/package.json'" means your etherpad source is
gone (or not in the right place; or just the package.json file is gone,
but I can't imagine why that would be)...
