What I Found
A practical walkthrough of installing the early Ghost blogging platform on Ubuntu Server with Node.js, Git, npm, and.
When Ghost first started showing up as a new Node.js-based blogging platform, a lot of people were excited to try it, but the install process was not as obvious as a typical blogging system upload.
The short version is this: install Ubuntu Server, install Git first, add a current Node.js repository, install Node.js, upload or place the Ghost files in a directory, run npm install from inside that Ghost folder, update config.js so Ghost listens on the server’s IP address, and then start Ghost on port 2368.
