The project is maintained by a non-profit organisation called the Ghost Foundation, along with an amazing group of independent contributors. We're trying to make publishing software that changes the shape of online journalism.
Quick Start Install
Make sure you've installed Node.js - We recommend the latest Node v0.10.x release.
Ghost is also compatible with Node v0.12 and io.js v1.2, but please note that these versions are more likely to run into installation problems. May contain nuts. Please use the forum for help.

More general install docs here in case you got stuck.
Deploying Ghost
The easiest way to deploy Ghost is on our official Ghost(Pro) hosted platform. This service funds the Ghost Foundation, which makes actively maintaining this project possible.
Also, you get to save yourself a lot of wasted time and headaches by deploying a new instance of Ghost to a managed server with a global content delivery network in just a few clicks.
Other options are available if you prefer playing around with servers by yourself.
Staying Up to Date
When a new version of Ghost comes out, you'll want to look over these upgrade instructions for what to do next.
You can talk to other Ghost users on our forums or chat with Ghost developers in our public Slack team (it's pretty awesome). We have a public meeting every Tuesday at 5:30pm London time.
New releases are announced on the dev blog. You can subscribe by email or follow @TryGhost_Dev on Twitter, if you prefer your updates bite-sized and facetious.
