It depends on how you use the word. If you use it as an adjective, pronoun, or conjuction, then it does not require a comma before it. For example, "Pull on either end of this string" (adjective); "There are two doors that lead to the exit; you can choose either" (pronoun); "Either say it now or come tomorrow" (conjunction). If you choose to use the word as an adverb, a comma is not necessarily required, but if you feel that you should pause before saying it, then add a comma. For example, "She didn't feel like she was qualified for it either" and "She didn't feel like she was qualified for it, either" are both acceptable, depending on if feel like you pause or not when saying it.

Or more tersely: only when it begins a clause. Commas are a feature of sentence structure. There is no word in English that requires a comma.
