Upgrading Node.js / Current version 10.24.1

birnbub

Hello There
I have a ghost application which requires a newer node version. The current version which is installed is 10.24.1. Ghost requires at least version version 11. Should I install my own new version for the managed host?
Thanks for your help
Heiko

Debug Information:
OS: CentOS Linux, v7
Node Version: v10.24.1
Ghost Version: 4.4.0
Ghost-CLI Version: 1.16.3
Environment: production
Command: 'ghost update --force -d /home/xxx/...`

birnbub when you install Ghost (or Node) via the Opalstack dashboard the app comes with its own bundled Node v14. To use it at the command line execute the following commands:

cd ~/apps/name_of_app
export PATH=$PWD/node/bin:$PATH

After you've done this you'll get the updated node and npm when you execute those commands.

sean I'm working through the Ghost readme file and got the update Node message which appears to be fixed with the export PATH=$PWD/node/bin:$PAT command.

However, when I run this command, the next on the list in the readme file:

/home/path_to_app/node_modules/.bin/ghost config url https://domain.com

I get this error message:

/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory

Any ideas how to fix this error? Thanks in advance!

I got it. I have a very old app installation for ghost. When I try the new ghost app, I can see, that a node.js is installed inside the app folder, which is missing from my early installation.
Thanks, Heiko

birnbub if you have an older Ghost app without the bundled Node, then you can download a newer Node in the app directory and configure the app to use that. Instructions are available at: https://community.opalstack.com/d/592-ghost-40/8

fredhead from your description it seems like your shell PATH is broken. Please try logging out of your shell session then run the following commands (replace name_of_app with your app name):

cd ~/apps/name_of_app
export PATH=$PWD/node/bin:$PATH

If that doesn't solve the problem then please email support to let us know the shell user and app name and we'll then take a closer look.
