How to install Ghost on linux This tutorial will show you how to install and run Ghost on a Debian based Linux server. This guide presumes you have Node.js and NPM installed and running correctly. First of all you will need to download the Ghost software: curl -L https://ghost.org/zip/ghost-latest.zip -o ghost.zip Then you will need to unzip the Ghost software, we will unzip it to a ghost directory: unzip -uo ghost.zip -d ghost Now you will need to go into the ghost directory: cd ghost Once you are inside the ghost directory you will need to install all the dependencies that Ghost requires to run: npm install --production Once it has installed you can now go ahead and run the Ghost software: npm start To see your blog you will need to open http://127.0.0.1:2368 in your web browser. You can sign in to your control panel by visiting http://127.0.0.1:2368/ghost. Hopefully this has been useful to someone. Ghost is extremely easy to set up and install. There are other configuration option available for Ghost, such as SSL, an Nginx reverse proxy and running Ghost forever. I will write a separate tutorial for these later on; they are just as easy to set up!

While I am setting up Node.js and NPM for a project I am currently working on I think it would be best to document my installations setups. I have already posted a quick How to Install Nginx and i think Node.js and NPM are the next logical items to write about. Installing Node.js sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nodejs This will install whatever version is currently in the repository, this will probably not be the latest and we will need to upgrade. Once the installation is complete you should have a working version of Node.js and NPM. NPM is Node Package Manager and it is used to install different node packages. It can also be used to upgrade itself and Node.js. How to upgrade NPM If NPM is not installed with the Node.js install then you will need to install NPM via apt-get. sudo apt-get install npm sudo npm update npm -g This command will upgrade NPM to the latest version, the -g is a global option so unless you are a root user you will need to use the sudo command. Once NPM has been fully update you can use it to update Node.js. How to upgrade Node.js via NPM sudo npm install -g n sudo n stable This will install the latest version Node.js. After these commands have run you will have a fully working and up to date Node.js and NPM.
