Ghost
Ghost is a free, open, simple blogging platform that's available to anyone who wants to use it. Lovingly created and maintained by John O'Nolan + Hannah Wolfe + an amazing group of contributors.
Visit the project's website at http://ghost.org • docs on http://docs.ghost.org.
Getting Involved
Want to report a bug, request a feature, or help us build or translate Ghost? Check out our in depth guide to Contributing to Ghost. We need all the help we can get! You can also join in with our community to keep up-to-date and meet other Ghosters.
Getting Started
There are two main ways to get started with Ghost, take care to use the method which best suits your needs.
Please note - the downloadable zip files we provide on Ghost.org are pre-built packages designed for getting started quickly. Cloning from the git repository requires you to install several dependencies and build the assets yourself.
Getting Started Guide for Bloggers
If you just want to get a Ghost blog running in the fastest time possible, this method is for you.
For detailed instructions for various platforms visit the Ghost Installation Guide. If you get stuck, help is available on our forum.
- Install Node.js - Ghost requires Node v0.10.
- Download the latest Ghost package from Ghost.org. If you cloned the GitHub repository you should follow the instructions for developers.
- Create a new directory where you would like to run the code, and unzip the package to that location.
- Fire up a terminal (or node command prompt in Windows) and change directory to the root of the Ghost application (where config.example.js and index.js are)
- run
npm install --production
to install the node dependencies. If you seeerror Error: ENOENT
on this step, make sure you are in the project directory and try again. - To start ghost, run
npm start
- Visit
http://localhost:2368/
in your web browser or go tohttp://localhost:2368/ghost
to log in
Check out the Documentation for more detailed instructions, or get in touch via the forum if you get stuck.
Getting Started Guide for Developers
If you're a theme, app or core developer, or someone comfortable getting up and running from a git clone
, this method is for you.
If you clone the GitHub repository, you will need to build a number of assets, such as SASS and JavaScript templates. This requires you to have Ruby and a number of other pre-requisites. Full instructions can be found in the Contributing Guide under the heading "Working on Ghost Core".
Check out the Documentation for more detailed instructions, or get in touch via the forum if you get stuck.
If you want to use Ghost as a NPM module there is a Wiki entry where you can find instructions on how to get set up.
Upgrading to The Latest Version

Versioning
For transparency and insight into our release cycle, and for striving to maintain backward compatibility, Ghost will be maintained according to the Semantic Versioning guidelines as much as possible.
Releases will be numbered with the following format:
<major>.<minor>.<patch>-<build>
Constructed with the following guidelines:
- A new major release indicates a large change where backwards compatibility is broken.
- A new minor release indicates a normal change that maintains backwards compatibility.
- A new patch release indicates a bugfix or small change which does not affect compatibility.
- A new build release indicates this is a pre-release of the version.
