# [Ghost](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost) [](https://travis-ci.org/TryGhost/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](http://twitter.com/JohnONolan) + [Hannah Wolfe](http://twitter.com/ErisDS) + an amazing group of [contributors](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/contributors).
|
|
|
|
Visit the project's website at [http://ghost.org](http://ghost.org)!
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
There are **two** ways to get started with Ghost:
|
|
|
|
1. **Install from a Release** - these are pre-built zip packages found on [Ghost.org](http://ghost.org/download) which have no dependencies other than node & npm. Installation instructions are below.
|
|
2. **Cloning from the GitHub repo** - requires you to build assets yourself. Instructions can be found in [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Installing from a Release
|
|
|
|
*Please Note:* Releases are pre-built packages, GitHub releases (tags) are not. To install from GitHub you need to follow the [contributing guide](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md).
|
|
|
|
1. Once you've downloaded one of the releases, unzip it, and place the directory wherever you would like to run the code
|
|
2. 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)
|
|
4. run `npm install --production` to install the node dependencies. If you see `error Error: ENOENT` on this step, make sure you are in the project directory and try again.
|
|
4. To start ghost, run `npm start`
|
|
5. Visit `http://localhost:2368/` in your web browser or go to `http://localhost:2368/ghost` to log in
|
|
|
|
Check out the [Documentation](http://docs.ghost.org/) for more detailed instructions, or get in touch via the [forum](http://ghost.org/forum) if you get stuck.
|
|
|
|
### Updating with the latest changes
|
|
|
|
Documentation on updating can be found in the [Ghost Guide](http://docs.ghost.org/installation/upgrading/)
|
|
|
|
### Logging in For The First Time
|
|
|
|
Once you have the Ghost server up and running, you should be able to navigate to `http://localhost:2368/ghost/` from a web browser, where you will be prompted for a login.
|
|
|
|
1. Click on the "register new user" link
|
|
2. Enter your user details (careful here: There is no password reset yet!)
|
|
3. Return to the login screen and use those details to log in.
|
|
|
|
Note - this is still very alpha. Not everything works yet.

## 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](http://semver.org/) 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.
|
|
