Steps to Install GHOST\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, we need to install Ghost. We’ll place Ghost in the \/var\/www\/\u00a0<\/strong>ghost directory, which is the recommended installation location.<\/p>\n

Download the latest version of Ghost from Ghost’s GitHub repository using wget:<\/p>\n

wget https:\/\/ghost.org\/zip\/ghost-latest.zip<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Install the unzip program with the package manager. Make sure that the system is up-to-date before installing a new program, so update the packages and install unzip with the following commands:<\/p>\n
yum update -y\r\nyum install unzip -y<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
The -y flag in the preceding commands updates and installs packages automatically.<\/p>\n
Once unzip is installed, unzip the downloaded package to the \/var\/www\/<\/strong>ghost directory. First, create the \/var\/www<\/strong> folder, then unzip the file:<\/p>\n
mkdir \/var\/www\r\nunzip -d \/var\/www\/ghost ghost-latest.zip<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Switch to the \/var\/www\/ghost\/<\/strong> directory:<\/p>\n
cd \/var\/www\/ghost\/<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Then install the Ghost dependencies, but only the ones needed for production.<\/p>\n
npm install --production<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Ghost is installed once this process completes, but we need to set up Ghost before we can start it.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Configure GHOST<\/strong><\/p>\n
Ghost uses a configuration file located at \/var\/www\/ghost\/config.js<\/strong>. This file doesn’t exist out of the box, but the Ghost installation includes the file config.example.js<\/strong>, which we’ll use as a starting point.<\/p>\n
Copy the example configuration file to \/var\/www\/ghost\/config.js<\/strong>. We’ll copy the file instead of moving it so that we have a copy of the original configuration file in case we need to revert your changes.<\/p>\n
cp config.example.js config.js<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Open the file for editing:<\/p>\n
vi config.js<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
We have to change the URL that Ghost uses. If we don’t, the links on the blog will take visitors to my-ghost-blog.com. Change the value of the url field to your domain name, or to your server’s IP address if you don’t want to use a domain right now.<\/p>\n
                \u00a0 \/var\/www\/ghost\/config.js\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n...\r\n\r\nconfig = {\r\n\/\/ ### Production\r\n\/\/ When running Ghost in the wild, use the production environment\r\n\/\/ Configure your URL and mail settings here\r\nproduction: {\r\nurl: 'http:\/\/your_domain_or_ip_address',\r\nmail: {},\r\n...<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
The url value must be in the form of a URL, like http:\/\/example.com<\/strong> or http:\/\/11.11.11.11<\/strong>. If this value is not formatted correctly, Ghost will not start.<\/p>\n
Ghost can function without the mail settings; they’re only necessary if you need to support password recovery for Ghost users.<\/p>\n
You can customize Ghost further by following the configuration details at the official site.<\/p>\n
Save the file and exit the editor.<\/p>\n
While still in the \/var\/www\/<\/strong>ghost directory, start Ghost with the following command:<\/p>\n
npm start --production<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Output<\/p>\n
> ghost@0.11.7 start \/var\/www\/ghost\r\n> node index\r\n\r\nWARNING: Ghost is attempting to use a direct method to send email.\r\nIt is recommended that you explicitly configure an email service.\r\nHelp and documentation can be found at http:\/\/support.ghost.org\/mail.\r\n\r\nMigrations: Creating tables...\r\n...\r\n\r\nGhost is running in production...\r\nYour blog is now available on http:\/\/your_domain_or_ip_address\r\nCtrl+C to shut down<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Ghost is listening on port 2368<\/strong>, and it’s not listening on the public network interface, so you won’t be able to access it directly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
